The School of Law’s programme of Taught Masters degrees has proved immensely popular since its inception in 1987. An impressive series of specialist degrees is supported by a diverse range of over 50 modules that are specific to the postgraduate programme.
The diversity of the programme is matched by the cosmopolitan nature of the student body: each year we admit about 150 students, typically from over 40 different countries around the globe.
We are committed to a high quality programme. It is a research-led programme. All Faculty members are active researchers, and the teaching on the taught masters programmes benefits directly from the research of participating Faculty.
It is a postgraduate programme. All modules are offered specifically to postgraduate students and do not form part of our undergraduate programmes. Class sizes are monitored. Every effort is made to ensure a class size conducive to an intellectually stimulating debate. It is an evolving programme. New modules and new specialisms reflect the dynamic intellect of the Faculty and the changing international environment.
Graduates from Nottingham’s taught masters programme have progressed to a wide variety of successful careers, from private sector legal practice to government legal service, from universities to industry and commerce, from non-governmental organizations to the United Nations.
