Course Overview

Offered by University of York, the LLM Legal and Political Theory provides a comprehensive postgraduate education in law. Based in York, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 1-year full-time and part-time structure. It is sometimes said that political theory concerns the questions of who gets what and who says?. In modern pluralistic societies an additional question arises: How can we live together peacefully in circumstances in which we disagree about how best to live? These issues are both political and legal. International tuition fees are £26,900 per year, home/UK fees are £12,500 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £30,500 within three years, and a 95% continuation rate.
