On this LLM, you’ll deepen your knowledge of core legal principles. And you’ll explore the wider social, political, economic and cultural forces forming the legal landscape today.

This ensures your learning is grounded in real-world relevance and the latest legal research.
Through your dissertation and choice of modules, you can tailor the content of your degree to focus on the areas of law that interest you most. From international financial law, to international human rights law, or criminal law and criminal justice – you’ll have the opportunity to choose your specialism supported by our experts.
By studying at Sussex, you’ll:
-
develop analytical and critical thinking skills – helping you to interpret laws, build arguments and suggest structured, logical solutions
-
gain advanced legal research skills – enabling you to design and conduct your own substantial research project where you can explore a subject you’re passionate about

Summary
On this LLM, you’ll deepen your knowledge of legal principles, and gain an overview of the social, political, economic and cultural context in which you operate.
You’ll learn from leading scholars with expertise in a wide range of areas. This allows you to explore a variety of approaches to law. Many of our staff not only research but also work with governments, international organisations and policy-makers. The course content reflects their latest insight and research.
You’ll have the opportunity to tailor the degree to your interests by:

choosing different pathways.
Throughout your studies, you’ll have the opportunity to network with professionals, practitioners and activists from around the world. The global perspective you’ll gain will help you formulate critical responses to legal issues. These networks will also be valuable after you graduate.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
