LAW
Kent Law School (KLS) is a cosmopolitan centre
of world-class critical legal research, offering a
supportive and intellectually stimulating place to
study. Rated 7th in the UK for research power in
the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014,
KLS gives you unparalleled opportunities to study
with leading academic experts in a variety of
specialised fields of law.
The Kent LLM at the University’s Canterbury campus allows you
to specialise in one of many areas of law. Our LLM programmes at
the University’s Brussels School of International Studies also allow
you to gain a secondary specialisation in politics and international
relations. With all of our programmes you gain expertise in a range
of international and domestic subjects and develop advanced,
transferable research and communication skills. Some programmes
give you the opportunity to study at both Canterbury and Brussels.
Our programmes attract excellent law graduates from around the world
and are also open to non-law graduates with an appropriate academic
or professional background who wish to develop an advanced
understanding of law in their field. You study within a supportive and
intellectually stimulating environment, working closely with academic
staff whose critical teaching is informed by world-class research.
Postgraduate resources
Kent Law School has an active
and inclusive extra-curricular
academic and social scene,
with weekly graduate seminars,
a postgraduate student group
for all students, an annual LLM
conference enabling students
to present their research and a
regular guest lecture programme
organised by our research centres
(which include the Centre for
Critical International Law, the
Kent Centre for Law, Gender and
Sexuality, and the Kent Centre for
European and Comparative Law).
LLM students are encouraged to
write about their experiences at
Kent, and do so on our LLM
blog, Mastering Law
(http://blogs.kent.ac.uk/klsllm/).
