LLM Law Law and Society

Course overview

The LLM Law (Law and Society) at the University of Kent will provide students with a strong understanding of law and society, while encouraging them to question how the law facilitates social justice at the local, national and international levels. The programme allows students to build their legal knowledge in areas of interest while also enhancing their legal writing and analytical skills.

The course enables students to select from a range of modules offered by Kent Law School and the School of Social Policy, Sociology, and Social Research (SSPSSR) at the University of Kent, giving them the opportunity to analyse the role of law in modern global society.

Students will study key issues in legal and social policy and develop research and data analysis skills used for legal research. The programme provides an excellent foundation for students interested in progressing to PhD study.
