The first week of the LLM includes a required introduction to help students understand what is expected from a legal qualification. The course is taught using lectures, tutorials, seminars, and workshops. Students will be encouraged to form their views, supported by legal facts and new rules. Students' work will be checked through written assignments, coursework, and presentations, ending with a main research paper (dissertation) of up to 12,000 words.
