Summary
The LLM in Comparative Private Law is a unique programme that allows you to study a broad range of core areas of private law from a comparative perspective, while also taking courses on legal theory and other areas of the law.
Scotland is a mixed legal system meaning that its laws are shaped by both the civil law and the common law traditions. Edinburgh Law School therefore has a long tradition in the comparative study of private law.
Its private lawyers work across more than one jurisdiction, maintaining active research and professional links with scholars in continental Europe and with the larger common law world beyond the United Kingdom. Edinburgh is therefore the perfect place to study private law from a comparative perspective.
The LLM in Comparative Private Law attracts an international community of highly talented and ambitious students from common law, civil law, and mixed legal jurisdictions from all over the world.
Edinburgh Law School has a long-standing and very distinguished tradition of scholarship in the field of comparative private law. Private law has been taught and researched at the University of Edinburgh since 1722, and Edinburgh Law School is widely recognised as one of the leading institutions in the world in the field of Comparative Private Law.
Graduates of this programme have pursued successful careers in all sectors of legal practice or have undertaken doctoral research in the UK or their home countries, with some becoming legal academics in the UK or their home jurisdiction. They maintain a strong connection with the Law School and the academics that teach on the LLM.
