University of Auckland

Auckland, North Island, New Zealand

Master of Laws

The LLM is designed to provide an advanced level of study for both full-time students and those who are legal practitioners or engaged in other full- or part-time employment. It can be undertaken by coursework, research or a combination of both. You can choose from over 25 taught courses and entry to the LLM is available throughout the year.

You can concentrate your studies in particular areas of specialization or study a broad range of legal subjects.

The LLM taught (coursework) allows you to study areas in greater depth and complexity than at the undergraduate level. The program offers courses that provide detailed analyses of particular areas of law, as well as courses that are more policy-oriented.

The LLM by research allows you to conduct in-depth study in an area of personal interest to enhance employment opportunities either professionally or academically.
