Law - LLM

The Kent LLM allows you to broaden and deepen your knowledge and understanding of law by specialising in one or more different areas.

Kent Law School, at the University of Kent, is a leading UK law school with recognised excellence in teaching and legal research. Our distinctive critical approach views the law within the broader social, political and economic contexts in which it operates. You study full-time or part-time and can begin your studies in September or January, so you can set your own pace for your learning and career.

You'll join a dynamic, diverse, and intellectually stimulating environment, working closely with supportive academic staff. You will engage with critical research-led teaching throughout our programmes to ensure that you benefit from the Law School’s world-class research at the forefronts of developments in Law.

Our innovative Master’s in Law degree has an international and contemporary focus. It offers an open choice of modules and pathway enabling you to tailor your LLM study to suit your needs and interests. Your specialism is left open until you arrive and is determined by the modules you choose. This way, your degree accurately reflects your ambitions and interests - making you ready to kickstart your legal career in whatever field you want to make your mark in.
