2 UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
• An emphasis on rigorous scholarship centred on our institutional themes of Access to Justice and Transnational Law.
• An innovative experiential learning component that allows students in the LLM with Certificate in University Teaching and Learning stream to complete a certificate in university teaching, and to engage in law teaching during the course of their study.
2 STREAMS OF STUDYStudents may choose from two streams: a one-year (12-month) regular LLM or a two-year (24-month) LLM with Certificate in University Teaching and Learning.
The central requirement for both streams is the completion of original publishable research.
This major written piece of original research, or thesis, may be submitted as a single document or as a set of related publishable papers addressing a single research question and totalling approximately 100-125 pages.
