An interdisciplinary approach to the law and politics of the European Union for those who want a deeper understanding of EU law and wider government trends
This genuinely inter-disciplinary programme (with the School of Politics and International Relations) provides an approach to the study of the EU which will enable you to analyse how our understanding of the nature of the European Union is shaped by our particular disciplinary perspectives.

The aim of the LLM programme (which has a sister programme in the School of Politics and International Relations the MScEcon in European Public Policy and Law) is to provide a genuinely inter-disciplinary approach to European studies for law students in order to analyse how our understanding of the nature of the European Union is shaped by our particular disciplinary perspectives. Students will be challenged to think outside the box of their discipline within the core modules and to develop their discursive skills in relation to their twin discipline. They will also deepen their legal knowledge and their capacity for legal analysis in their optional modules. The synergies between politics and law mean that students will graduate having a facility to engage in debates drawing on the multiple perspectives they will develop throughout the programme, and these skills will be reinforced through their dissertation.
