University of Bristol: Law (European Legal Studies)

Summary

European Law is under unprecedented levels of challenge and scrutiny, not least as a result of Brexit and the ongoing rule of law disputes with some of the Union’s youngest Member States. It is also in a process of rapid transformation, including the crucial redefinition of the EU-UK relationship, the implementation of very ambitious free trade deals with neighbouring and more distant countries, as well as an expanding role of the EU’s external relations. There are thus foreseeable trends of further Europeanisation and more active coordination of Member States’ policies, in particular their responses to the 2020 pandemic and the economic crisis that is, unfortunately, very likely to hit Europe and the entire world. Understanding EU law in the current context is a fascinating and challenging academic endeavour and this LLM will equip you with advanced knowledge in a number of areas, as well as in the specific topic of your choice for your dissertation.

If you are interested in studying law beyond your undergraduate degree level and want to develop your analytical, research and legal writing skills, you will find Bristol’s LLM to be a challenging and rewarding experience. We have a large and vibrant international community and our LLM students benefit from small class sizes taught by world-renowned experts.

Summary

The European Union has never been more topical; we offer units that explore the hotly contested legal issues surrounding the free movement of goods and people within Europe, and the creation and enforcement of standards (for example, in competition and environmental law).

We offer an exciting and stimulating set of postgraduate law programmes, each of which prepares you for a variety of careers. If you are interested in studying law beyond your undergraduate degree level and want to develop your analytical, research and legal writing skills, you will find Bristol’s LLM to be a challenging and rewarding experience. We have a large and vibrant international community and our LLM students benefit from small class sizes taught by world-renowned experts.

Our LLM programmes give you the opportunity to specialise in a particular area but you can also opt for a broader and more general set of unit choices. In all cases, you are encouraged to explore your chosen areas of law at a deeper level. You will have the chance to see how these legal fields operate in different contexts, considering the relevant issues theoretically and practically and from a range of perspectives.
