Entry Requirements
A good degree in law or a degree in another discipline, plus either the CPE or GDL conversion qualifications, are normally required. However, applicants from other disciplines will be considered in appropriate circumstances. It is important that all International Law students speak, write and understand English well. Students can assess their fluency by taking the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). For entry onto the LLM programmes a minimum level of 6.5 is required for IELTS, or a written TOEFL score of 580, or computer based TOEFL score 237. If applicants do not meet the language entry requirements, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses are available through our Nottingham Language Centre prior to the start of the Masters programmes.

For both the LLM Health Law and LLM Sports Law programme, it is not a pre-requisite that students have a degree in law but must have at least a 2.2 honours degree plus appropriate experience within the relevant field.

Course Start Date
The LLM commences September through to the following September.

Teaching & Learning
A range of teaching and learning methods will be employed as appropriate to each module. The methods will include lectures, seminars and workshops.

Assessment
With the exception of the dissertation and the Legal Research and Writing module, which is assessed by the submission of a research proposal, the modules for the LLM programmes are assessed by means of a 4000 word piece of work. These could be discursive essays, reports, case studies or problem scenarios.
