LLM Criminal Law and Procedure Full-time

The LLM Criminal Law and Procedure course equips you with advanced skills and knowledge in a specialised area of law. Salaries of law graduates are among the highest of all graduates, and this course will give you an important edge when applying for roles in the Crown Prosecution Service, police, and prison or probation services. You’ll also be better equipped for applying for training contracts or pupillages if this is appropriate to your career stage. Law at Sunderland is well-respected, and our Master of Laws will add to your credentials in an area in which you already practise or are proposing to work. You’ll undertake two core modules: 'Criminal Law and Justice' and 'International Perspectives in Law'. You'll also choose a further two options that match your particular career ambitions and intellectual interests.
