Do I need a law degree to join the LLM?

No. The entry requirement for the LLM is either a degree in law or a degree with a substantial element of law, such as business or accountancy at a minimum of a 2:2 degree.

When can I start my LLM?

Students can commence their studies in either September or February.

Is it possible to use the facilities of the University of Cambridge?

Yes. Anglia Ruskin LLM students are permitted access to the University of Cambridge Squire library and can also attend Open Seminars.

What methods of assessment are there?

Assessment varies from module to module, but typically will include a presentation and a 6,000 word piece of coursework, or a portfolio of activities.

English is not my first language. Will this cause a problem for joining the course?

No. Most of the students on the LLM are international, coming from a variety of linguistic backgrounds. All students, whose first language is not English, are required to have a proficiency in English to IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. Students will also be required to undertake a diagnostic English test on arrival and if it is felt that the student would benefit from further English language support this will be available.

Can I complete my dissertation away from the university?

Yes. Once the taught element of the LLM is completed students can return home before submitting their dissertation, but they should remain in contact with their supervisor during this period.
