LLM Master of Laws with a Placement Year

University of East Anglia UEA

Law Master’s (LLM) degrees are increasingly seen by employers as a means to distinguish applicants. If you would like to study a Master’s course that can be specifically tailored to your interests, our LLM Master of Laws degree is an excellent choice. You will be given the freedom to choose any combination of LLM modules from the extensive selection offered by UEA Law School, ranging from subjects relevant to international trade and commerce to corporate governance from international competition law to intellectual property and information technology law and to more socio-legal subjects, such as the protection of privacy and reputation. We place significant emphasis on choice, confidence-building, maximising employability, and developing transferable skills. We believe small-group teaching at postgraduate level is important, and we aim to keep class sizes low, offering you an unparalleled personal teaching environment. You will have access to our team of international specialists drawn from academia and practice. As a student, you will become part of a vibrant international community of postgraduates based in the historic and recently refurbished Earlham Hall. To maximise your career prospects, we have developed a programme of opportunities tailored specifically to the needs of our postgraduate students, including placement opportunities for both UK and overseas students. During your course, you can apply for one of 50 internship placements. You can also attend careers panels, commercial awareness workshops, mock job interviews, our annual Law Careers Fair and many other events organised by UEA Law School and the Careers Service. Upon completing your LLM, you will be well placed to pursue a range of exciting careers. Our alumni have progressed to a wide variety of roles, from private practice in local and international law firms to government legal departments and international organisations, and from universities to industry and commerce – the world is your oyster.
