Additional Information

The LLM at UCLan Cyprus will enable students to focus on a range of various different subjects of use in their professional careers but also specialise in a range of exciting fields of law for those preferring a narrower focus. By introducing new, special option modules, five areas of concentration have been developed in the fields of:

  • International Energy Law
  • European Union Law
  • Law and International Security
  • International Business Law (offered also as specialised LLM)
  • Financial and Commercial law (offered also as specialised LLM)

The LLM Master of Laws is available to students with a legal and non-legal background. Seminars are delivered during the late afternoon and evening to facilitate both working professionals and recent graduates. The language of instruction is English. The course does not have any examinations, but is assessed through written Assignments, Presentations and a Dissertation. Emphasis is placed on private study and research, assisted by the University’s outstanding law resources and databases as directed by tutors. Therefore, class contact time is limited reflective of a desire to offer a world-class course of interest to the talented, serious and dedicated student, whilst providing the necessary flexibility for anyone juggling other professional and personal commitments.
