5 Reasons To Study Your LLM Via Distance Learning
Whether you want to work professionally as a lawyer or want to work in another career with a specialised knowledge of the law, your LLM is a noteworthy qualification to have.
Law firms looking for people specialised in certain areas will look favourably on candidates that have the right LLM, and other businesses are always happy to see specialist knowledge of the law where their business is concerned. However committing to full-time on-campus study can sometimes be quite tricky, which is where online LLM study can be beneficial.
Here are a few reasons that you should consider studying for your LLM via distance learning.
1. FLEXIBILITY
The obvious first point when it comes to distance learning is that the courses tend to be incredibly flexible. Unlike an undergraduate degree where you may have more options to spend a lengthy period in one place, postgraduate study may need to coincide with earning money and being involved in your chosen career. Distance learning allows you to gain a valuable qualification that will be helpful with your career but doesn't tie you down to a particular area or time frame.
2. DIVERSITY OF CHOICE
If you are based in a particular city or town and your local education services don't offer the specific LLM that you're looking for, you can feel quite trapped. With distance learning you are able to find an institution that specialises in exactly what you want to study. You may have completed your law degree and are looking for an LLM that gives you a leg up in a certain are of the law. Alternatively you may be deep into a career in another sector and looking to demonstrate your specialist knowledge of the law. Whatever situation you are in, by using distance learning you can find the perfect course for you.
3. INTERNATIONAL AVAILABILITY
Perhaps you are in a country that doesn't offer LLM qualifications. Perhaps you achieved a law degree and then moved away to work in another country but still want an LLM course that works for you. Either way, distance learning opens up the opportunity for obtaining specialist law qualifications from your chosen institution regardless of your location in the world. Almost all distance learning establishments tailor their courses so they can be completed by students internationally.
4. INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
Further to the point above, any LLM is internationally recognised. It doesn't matter whether you studied for it in your hometown or used distance learning from half a world away; the qualification that you leave with will be recognised and accepted around the world. Distance learning doesn't take anything away from the education that you receive but it does open you up to a whole world of benefits.
5. DISTANCE LEARNING IS SUITABLE FOR ANYONE
All things considered, once you've looked at all the points above, you can see that distance learning is an accessible and achievable means of gaining a Master of Laws. It doesn't matter what life stage you are at, where you are living or how much free time you have, you can start studying for a qualification that will give you real world benefits now.
