Law, Human Rights in Criminal Justice (Online) - LLM / MA Programme content
Key information
This degree is a fully online programme. Students complete the programme over a 24-month period by taking two modules in both the autumn and spring semesters of each year, before completing a dissertation in the summer semester of the second year. The module selection for each semester will be by agreement with the Course Director.
All taught modules are delivered asynchronously (pre-recorded lectures) that provides flexibility for students to engage with module and programme materials around work and family commitments. Module assessments are also conducted online.
The topic for a student’s dissertation is determined during the spring semester, supervised by a faculty member, and submitted at the end of the summer semester.
