Students have the opportunity to choose pathways in a host of subject areas including: Criminal Justice<\/a>, Environmental Law and Policy<\/a>, European Law<\/a>, Human Rights Law<\/a>, Intellectual Property Law<\/a>, International Commercial Law<\/a>, International Criminal Justice<\/a>, International Environmental Law<\/a>, International Law<\/a>, International Law with International Relations<\/a>, Law and the Humanities<\/a> and Medical Law and Ethics<\/a>.<\/p>\n The innovative nature of the programme means that students have the option to leave their choice of pathway open until after they arrive, with their specialisms being determined by the modules that they select. (Two further\u00a0LLM programmes<\/a>\u00a0are also offered at Kent’s centre in Brussels.)<\/p>\n More information about the Kent LLM is available on our\u00a0Mastering Law blog<\/a>\u00a0and in our latest video:
