Advice on how to study postgraduate in the UK

Hello, I am Ahmed from Baghdad, Iraq. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Law. I would like to study for a Master’s degree in Private Law in the United Kingdom. What are the procedures and costs that I might incur? Thank you.

Course fees might be in the region of GBP 20,000 a year, in addition to which you would have living costs, travel costs, and so on. You could enquire of universities about scholarship opportunities to assist with costs.

Good luck!

An example: the Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford. You can check your eligibility for this (very competitive) scholarship on the website linked to below. NB you need very strong academic credentials to become a Rhodes Scholar.

Hello there!

Congratulations on getting your bachelors in law!

University of Law has some great LLM courses (over 109 options). I would advise firstly looking at this link - https://www.law.ac.uk/study/search/?lvls=postgraduate&subs=law&page=1. This link should act as a course finder for you to check if LLM with Private Law is available.

I am doing LLM (SQE 1 and 2) with University of Law. I am enjoying the process a lot. I believe their studies and method of teaching are really helpful.

The costs and procedure for application will differ depending on which course you decide to pick from the list. So, I am not able to help you with that specific information but I hope the links help because they have detailed information on these aspects.

Why University of Law?

They have professors who used to be qualified professionals. This means the level of teaching and method is just really different and helpful. For me this was the best part of all.

Additionally, they have a wonderful employability team who will help you find a job and opportunities while you are at university and after. Their Alumni network is very strong.

Their method of teaching is very effective. They have a model called the PEC (prepare, engage, consolidate). This means they give you enough time to prepare for classes and then at the workshops we engage in real-life simulated tasks to understand the law and life of a lawyer. After this, we go back and consolidate the learning at home to refresh our memories.

I hope this provides some insight into where you can look at for courses that you are interested in.

All the best!!
