About the School of Law
The School of Law at the University of Bristol has a substantial, international postgraduate community, undertaking a range of taught and research-based programmes under the guidance of the School of Law's expert staff. We are committed to excellence in teaching and learning, and in research. Our postgraduate students benefit from our strengths in both.
The LLM is a taught Masters degree which offers opportunities for specialist legal study, and the development of research skills through the production of a dissertation. It is one of the most flexible taught postgraduate law programmes in the UK. The School of Law’s strengths are reflected in the wide range of options taught and/or supervised by specialist tutors.
The LLM has two parts. In Part One, which runs from October to June, students take four taught units, chosen from an extensive list of legal subjects. In Part Two, students undertake an extended period of supervised research leading to the submission of a final dissertation in September.
