International taxation has grown in prominence and importance in recent years, and the LLM programme is designed to give students a thorough grounding in both substantive tax rules and tax policy and to equip them for future practice, whether they intend to enter or return to private practice, in-house employment or government service. The School of Tax Law offers a range of international, jurisdiction specific and subject specific modules, all of which are taught by leading academics and practitioners.

The LLM in Tax Law is widely regarded as one of the leading tax programmes in the world. It consistently attracts high-calibre international students from more than two dozen jurisdictions. Their varied academic and professional perspectives enrich the learning experience and provide many opportunities for networking.

In addition, students have the opportunity to take part in events organised by Queen Mary tax law academics, such as the London Alumni International Tax conference, the Avoir Fiscal Anniversary EU Tax Conference and the Summer Tax Programme, as well as workshops and seminars on current issues and developments. These events typically attract high profile practitioners, industry experts, academics and government officials.
