Final year law and non-law students are invited to learn more about postgraduate funding and study opportunities at Kent Law School by coming to one of two open events taking place in Canterbury and Brussels.
Postgraduate programmes at Kent Law School are open to all graduates from a relevant discipline (an undergraduate degree in law is not a requirement) and may be of particular interest to those of you interested in developing your legal skills.
The Law School has an excellent international reputation; ranked 50th in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings for law 2018, it is also listed amongst the top 100 law schools in the world in both the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017 and the Shanghai Ranking’s Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2017.
The next Postgraduate Open Event on Kent’s Canterbury campus will take place on Tuesday 6 March from 17.00 to 19.00 in the Darwin Conference Suite. This event offers an excellent opportunity for you to speak to specialist academics and admissions staff about Kent Law School’s innovative, Masters in Law programme, the Kent LLM.
The Kent LLM enables you to broaden and deepen your knowledge and understanding of law by specialising in one or more different areas, according to your career interests and aspirations, even if you are a non-law graduate. All our programmes can be studied full-time or part-time and you can choose to begin your studies in either September or January.
You have the opportunity to develop specialisms in a host of subject areas including:
- Criminal Justice
- Environmental Law and Policy
- Human Rights Law
- Intellectual Property Law
- International Commercial Law
- International Criminal Justice
- International Environmental Law
- International Law
- International Law with International Relations
- Law and the Humanities
- Medical Law and Ethics
The Open Event offers a chance to learn more about Kent’s £11m postgraduate scholarship fund, including the Law School’s Taught Master’s Overseas Scholarship and Taught Master’s Home/EU Scholarship (which are both open for applications until Monday 19 March 2018.) You can also ask about: our competitive fees; the £10,280 Postgraduate Master’s Loans available for Home/EU students; and the Global Skills Award and Researcher Development Programme that can help enhance your career prospects.
