• Students develop recognized subject-specific knowledge and understanding as well as cognitive, intellectual, practical, professional, and generic key skills and qualities. The course enables to more effectively plan, manage and evaluate own learning to become an independent lifelong learner.
  • Students work with complex knowledge, theory, and concepts appropriate to postgraduate study and are required to demonstrate high levels of personal responsibility and self-direction.
  • The master of Laws (LLM) program from Teesside University is the result of research carried out by academics and lawyers in the School of Social Sciences, Humanities & Law to develop a program focusing on the philosophical theories that underpin the law and building on current perspectives in law. It focuses on the underlying legal theories that determine the scope of the existing law and proposals for changes to legislation and the common law.
  • The student-centered nature of assessment across all modules allows Students to tailor their studies to their own areas of interest. The link between legal theory and practice is the central theme of the course and the two core modules of Contemporary Legal Issues and Skills and Legal Theory in Context are fundamental to advanced legal study.
