LLM

The LLM Law at the University of Strathclyde provides students with an extended project that allows them to explore an area of their own choice. Students create knowledge in response to a research question that is genuinely of interest to them.

They will develop an enhanced research proposal, with a view to supporting their transition into PGR study (PhD/MPhil studies) and creating an early research supervision relationship with a prospective supervisor.

The degree gives students the opportunity to apply to pursue an internship in a national or international organisation relevant to their course. The internship allows students to be placed in a relevant host organisation for a specified number of hours agreed with the Strathclyde tutor. The student will be responsible for producing an internship report which will include an account of the knowledge and skills of applying theory to practice.
