Queen Mary is delighted to launch a new LLM in Common Law Theory and Practice. Unique in the landscape of legal postgraduate education, this programme combines theoretical and applied study of the common law. Whether you are you are unfamiliar with the common law or have studied in a common law jurisdiction and wish to deepen your knowledge, this programme offers a contextual and critical insight into the common law and its workings.
The programme is supported by two core compulsory 30-credit modules which act as the foundation of the programme, one in Semester A and one in Semester B. These modules are:
This module covers 'Reporting Cases', 'Facts and Character', and 'Reasoning with Precedent'.
This module covers ‘Common Law and Constitutional Politics’; ‘Colonialism, Imperialism, and Common Law’; and ‘Private Justice in Common Law’ across ten seminars.
In addition to these two compulsory taught modules, the programme includes a 60-credit compulsory 15,000 word Dissertation.
The LLM is research intensive, allowing students to develop their research skills, while also becoming familiar with the common law tradition.
We only allow one application from our range of LLM programmes so please ensure you apply for your main programme of interest. Please note you can request to change programme at offer stage via your MYSIS admissions portal and also request this after enrolment via the School of Law Taught Programme office.
LLM students will study either one year full-time or two years part time at Queen Mary starting in September.
You will need to complete 180 credits in total:

Students are required to carry out extensive research to complete their dissertation.
During the programme, students benefit from small group teaching of a maximum of 30 students per module to ensure there is direct interaction with lecturers. A variety of teaching, learning and assessment strategies, including traditional and interactive lectures, seminar sessions, tutorials and e-learning will be used to enhance the study experience.
Students will be expected to invest a significant amount of time in independent learning, including reading materials in advance of lectures and seminars, preparing class presentations, completing assignments and preparing for examinations.
Queen Mary is proud to have strong connections with industry so that we can include visits to common law courts in London, as well as guest seminars, whether by visiting academics or practicing common law advocates and judges as part of the programme.
