LLM Banking and Finance Law This is a distinctive LLM programme that considers the law and regulation of banking and finance. You will enjoy the opportunity to examine wide-ranging questions concerning the impact of law, regulation, policy and practice on banking and finance. You will be taught by leading academics who have internationally-recognised research profiles on this subject.
The programme includes various specialist units dealing with banking and finance law. It is suitable for students seeking a career in law, finance, business or regulation. Among the benefits of this programme are its subject coverage and the transferable skills that it is designed to promote. It is anticipated that it will enhance a range of practical settings and careers.
You will take four units (120 credit points overall, 30 credit points each) and a compulsory dissertation (60 credit points). You have the option of choosing three specialist banking and finance units and then one further unit from any of our other LLM programmes.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree in law or a degree with an adequate law component.

LLM European Legal Studies The European Union has never been more topical; as the UK prepares to leave the EU, we offer units that explore the hotly contested legal issues surrounding the free movement of goods and people within Europe, and the creation and enforcement of standards (for example, in competition and environmental law).
In the first part of the programme, you will choose four units from a list of European legal studies options, or three units from the list and a further unit from any of our other specialist LLM programmes, or two units from the list and two from the LLM in International Law. Assessment is by examination and/or essay. In the spring term, you will choose a dissertation topic from the field of European legal studies for approval by the Law School.
Entry requirements: An upper second- class honours degree in law (or international equivalent). Exceptionally, we will also consider applicants who have:
1. an upper-second class honours degree that included content relevant to the applicant’s proposed field of study; or
2. an upper second-class honours degree in any subject, along with relevant experience in a discipline closely related to the focus of this programme.
Applicants in either of these two exceptional cases must make a case explaining why their qualifications or experience fall into category (1) or (2) in their personal statement. Recognised Prior Learning is currently not accepted. Previous or professional experience is not required.
LLM General Legal Studies We offer an exciting and stimulating set of postgraduate law programmes, each of which prepares you for a variety of careers. If you are interested in studying law beyond your undergraduate degree level and want to develop your analytical, research and legal writing skills, you will find Bristol’s LLM to be a challenging and rewarding experience. We have a large and vibrant international community and our LLM students benefit from small class sizes taught by world-renowned experts.
Our LLM programmes give you the opportunity to specialise in a particular area but you can also opt for a broader and more general set of unit choices. In all cases, you are encouraged to explore your chosen areas of law at a deeper level. You will have the chance to see how these legal fields operate in different contexts, considering the relevant issues theoretically and practically and from a range of perspectives.
