Summary

USW’s LLM Legal Research is part of our comprehensive range of postgraduate LLM programmes. The course will begin with 3 taught modules so that you are part of a community of learning before you complete the main element of the course which is a thesis based on a legal topic of your choice, under the supervision of specialists.
