The Cambridge LL.M. (Master of Law) programme is a one-year taught course commencing at the beginning of October each year and ending in June of the following year. The LL.M. offers highly qualified and intellectually outstanding students the opportunity to pursue their legal studies at an advanced level in a challenging but supportive environment. The course, with its rich historical traditions attracts students of the highest calibre, drawn in roughly equal numbers from both the common law and civil law traditions. The LL.M., as a Masters degree, is intended for those who wish to pursue further legal studies after completing their first degree in law, including those who are considering an academic career or intend to practise law.
The advanced nature of the LL.M. is reflected in the fact that the course is organised and taught separately from the undergraduate law course at Cambridge. All of the courses are specifically tailored for the LL.M. course.
LL.M. students take four papers, each of which is generally assessed by means of written examination. One of the four papers may instead be taken by thesis. For more information on the curriculum see here.
Cambridge offers excellent facilities to LL.M. students. All students will be a member of one of Cambridge’s colleges while they are on the course.
