Programme structure

At LSE Law, you will be able to choose from a wide variety of courses in composing the subject matter of your degree.

Structure of the LLM

The LSE LLM programme is designed to give you the flexibility to create a degree programme that suits your academic and professional objectives. You can either expand your horizons by engaging with diverse legal areas, or alternatively focus on a particular subject area and choose to graduate with a specialist LLM.

All LLM students take total of eight courses, usually over a period of one year of full-time study. Seven of those will be ‘taught’ courses, chosen from a diverse menu of LSE Law courses, which changes each year to make the most of our world-leading faculty’s research expertise and interest in that given session. Subject to Law School approval, up to two of these taught courses may be non-Law, Masters-level courses run by other LSE departments; this option has been popular, for example, with students interested in adding an interdisciplinary perspective to their study. The eighth course making up the LLM degree is a compulsory course on Legal Research and Writing Skills, which is assessed via a 10,000 word independent dissertation on a topic of your choice and will be supervised by one of our expert faculty members. You can choose to pursue your LLM with a general focus or to select a subject specialism, the options for which are outlined below. If you take a minimum of four Law School courses within one of these specialist areas, you can request that your chosen specialism is included on your degree certificate upon graduation. Your specialism may include the compulsory Legal Research and Writing course should your dissertation topic directly relate to your specialism topic and upon agreement from the Law School.

Specialisms and Courses

The LSE Law School runs over 70 postgraduate courses each year, divided between two teaching terms. We encourage our LLM students to think broadly, challenge themselves and take courses that promise to develop their legal education in ways that take them outside their comfort zone.

It is important for students to note that the exact range of LLM taught courses on offer will vary from year to year. The law school's  areas of research expertise  feed directly into the content taught on the LLM. Some courses run in most years whereas some are only offered in certain years when the teacher (often a leading expert in the field) is available. New courses in developing fields of research are also regularly introduced to ensure that our programme remains at the leading edge of legal scholarship. 

Depending on a student’s interests and career goals there is an option to select a specialism on the LLM, which approximately half of the students on the programme opt to do. However, even those students who follow a specialism routinely take three or four courses from a completely different field of law, which considerably enriches their experience and expands their perspectives on more specialist material.  

The following specialisms and courses are available to take in the 2023/24 academic year. Please note that specialisms may also be subject to change. Although we do not guarantee any student a place on a particular course, all students are generally able to meet their chosen specialism. For further information on individual courses please refer to the relevant course guide .

Teaching delivery

Our LLM taught courses are delivered primarily in the form of small-group teaching with a strong emphasis on independent study, cutting-edge materials and lively class discussion. We believe that the student experience on our taught courses should be challenging, intellectually stimulating and participatory. As such, it is important that students on our courses should have the opportunity to be actively involved in class discussions and be able to interact both with the teacher and fellow students to develop their legal skills and understanding in a particular subject. You can therefore expect a challenging, but also thought-provoking and rewarding experience on our courses. 

It is important to note that that places on all LLM taught courses are limited by class size. Admission onto any particular course is therefore not guaranteed and is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis in the course selection window. The ‘first-come, first-served’ nature of the course selection system means that the majority of students will not get places on all seven of the courses that they initially plan to take. The result, however, is that students expand their current field of expertise or interest and will always be taking courses that offer cutting-edge, research-led learning. In our view, this outcome creates well-rounded lawyers, who want to be challenged and pushed to think outside of the box.

The taught courses are assessed generally by written examination, held during the Spring Term in May/June. Some courses are assessed by extended essay, submitted in May. Dissertations are submitted in August. To prepare for the exams you will be asked to write a minimum of one short formative (practice) essay per course on which you will receive constructive feedback.

February 9th, 2021, the dissertation dilemma.

3 comments | 9 shares

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

When I applied to LSE for my LLM, I applied with a relatively clear theme in my mind about what I would want my dissertation to be about, maybe not the exact topic but definitely what I wanted to attempt to say about the world.  One year, one term and a pandemic later, and I am struggling.

Do I now just re-evaluate my topic and try and contextualise it in today’s pandemic ridden times or do I just go with something new? The road that I have stumbled upon by some stroke of serendipity (or my Wi-Fi failing me when I had to pick my graduate courses)? This dilemma has now led me to my current path of self-exploration. And by that, I mean dissertation exploration (but honestly is there a difference)?

Somedays it’s hard to find things to be grateful for but I am definitely grateful for mentors and resource guides and libraries and books and Twitter. For now, my path of solving my dissertation dilemma has involved taking to my academic mentor, sending frantic vague emails to my professors in the middle of the night asking for their opinion on academic articles, attending more LSE LIFE sessions then I probably should, pouring over previous dissertations that people before me painstakingly wrote and setting up appointments with student advisors.

The point being, if you are struggling with your dissertation topic, you’re not the only one. More importantly there is help, plenty of it! From interactive sessions with alumni, to conversations with PhD students and help from the Library staff, to study retreats and more. There are resources and people willing to go out of their way to help out. You just have to make the best use of them and not let yourself get overwhelmed with the process. After all, anything worthwhile doing definitely takes time.

Have I resolved my dissertation dilemma yet? No. But I know I will get by and get through it with a little (or a lot) of help!

About the author

I am currently a Master of Laws (LLM) candidate. When I am not trying to struggle through my readings you can find me exploring the city, one tea at a time.

This is so helpful, thank you!!

Very interesting! Perhaps most graduate students face this ! D2- Dissertation Dilemma

Very insightful. Thank you so much for posting!

About the LLM programme

The LLM at LSE is a leading programme delivered at one of the world's best law schools, ranked first overall in the UK in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 . It is unmatched in the international, comparative and interdisciplinary approaches and courses that it offers.

The LSE LLM offers the highest quality of teaching provided by leading international and UK academics. Our approach to the teaching of law combines views and experiences from different disciplinary traditions and jurisdictions. This ensures that what you learn at LSE Law is relevant to legal study and practice in any jurisdiction.

Courses are offered in a broad range of fields including arbitration, human rights, international law, corporate, commercial and financial law.

You can choose to pursue your LLM with a general focus or select a subject specialism. If you take the required minimum number of LLM courses (or more) that fall within one of the following specialist areas you can request that your chosen specialism is included on your final certificate upon graduation. Should your dissertation topic directly correlate with your nominated specialism, the compulsory Legal Research and Writing Skills course can make up part of your specialism if this is agreed by the LSE Law School. Furthermore, with the relevant approval and subject to space on your desired course, you may be able to take up to a full unit course or two half-unit courses from another LSE department. This non-law course may be relevant to your field of specialism (if any), for example international lawyers may, with approval, take a course in international relations, though it will not contribute to gaining an LLM specialism.

LSE Law School

LSE Law School is one of the world’s best schools. In the UK, it was ranked in the top 5 law schools overall by The Complete University Guide in 2022. In the QS World University rankings for 2021, the law school was ranked sixth (out of 200 worldwide). Our approach is to challenge existing ways of thinking, and seek to understand the causes of things. This has always been our mission at LSE Law School.

Closely linked to this innovative approach has been the exploration of new fields of study. Many important subjects were first taught and examined systematically from an academic perspective at LSE Law School. We pioneered the study of banking law, taxation law, civil litigation, company law, labour law, family law, aspects of welfare law, and studies of the legal system and the legal profession, and continue to be the leading thinkers in our field.

Information for international students

LSE is an international community, with over 140 nationalities represented amongst its student body. We celebrate this diversity through everything we do.

If you are applying to LSE from outside of the UK then take a look at our Information for International students .

Fees and funding

Every graduate student is charged a fee for their programme. Visit the website for more information about the fees .

The School recognises that the cost of living in London may be higher than in your home town or country, and we provide generous scholarships each year to home and overseas students.

This programme is eligible for needs-based awards from LSE, including the Graduate Support Scheme, Master's Awards, and Anniversary Scholarships.

Selection for any funding opportunity is based on receipt of an application for a place – including all ancillary documents, before the funding deadline.

In addition to our needs-based awards, LSE also makes available scholarships for students from specific regions of the world and awards for students studying specific subject areas.

Publication of Results

The way in which we publish results is changing.

The way that we publish your results is changing as we transition to Student LSE for You . Expand the sections below to find out how and when we will publish your results. 

When you will receive your final results

Results will be published on the following dates:

It takes some time to send results to students on a particular date. On the release day we have to undertake a number of quality assurance processes and, where results are being sent by email, generate the email text. We sometimes do this outside of normal working hours to ensure we do not overload our systems. This means that your results may not be published until late into the evening, possibly up to 23:59.

We do everything we can to get results published as quickly as we can, but it's never instantaneous and we can't guarantee that it will be within working hours. Please do not worry if somebody else is able to view their results but you're not, is most likely that your results are just working their way through the system. 

Our work to transition to  Student LSE for You  will mean that we're able to publish results much more quickly in the future. 

When you will receive provisional marks

We publish provisional marks for certain types of students, at certain times of year:

We share provisional marks with these groups of students to allow you to prepare for your next steps, either at LSE or elsewhere. However, sharing marks early means they have not yet been ratified by the relevant exam boards so they can change. This means that provisional marks emails cannot be used as an official record and we cannot respond to queries about them.

Our work to transition to Student LSE for You  will mean that we're able to publish results much more quickly in the future. 

How you will receive your results

You will no longer able to access results in the old version LSE for You, this functionality was retired in Summer 2023 and will not be reinstated. 

Provisional results released on 5 July 2024

Provisional course and assessment marks for BA, BSc, General Course, Go LSE and LLB students will be published by email. This will be sent to your LSE email address on 5 July 2024. Please bear in mind that it can take some time to create and generate all of the emails so they will not arrive with everybody at the same time. 

This email will only contain results for assessments taken during the 2023/24 academic year. If you have final results from assessments in previous assessment periods, you will be able to access your historic results by checking the email we sent  on 28 November 2023.

Final results released on 12 July 2024

Final results due on 12 July 2024 will be published using by email. This will be sent to your LSE email address on 12 July 2024. Please bear in mind that it can take some time to create and generate all of the emails so they will not arrive with everybody at the same time. 

This email will continue your marks from the 2023/24 academic year alongside all marks from previous assessment periods (if appropiate). 

Results released later in the 2023/24 Academic Year

This page will be updated with specific advice for each results release period closer to the time. We're not able to confirm all information at present because work to transition to  Student LSE for You  is ongoing. 

Some members of staff will still be able to access results in the old version of LSE for You for for a short period of time. 

Check out the sections below to find out more about how we publish results; the steps involved in making sure your results are accurate including ; and advice for students in various scenarios. 

What's the difference between final results and provisional marks?

Final results.

• These are marks and grades which have been ratified by both your department and either the School Board of Examiners or Graduate School Board of Examiners. These marks and grades will not change. 
• If we have made an award your final results will also include a classification and award date.
• If you are a continuing student they will also include information about your progression status.

Provisional Results

• These are marks and grades which have been reviewed within your department and uploaded to the student record system. They have not been ratified by your department or  the School Board of Examiners or Graduate School Board of Examiners. 
• For January exams you will receive a numerical mark for the exam assessment. You will not receive a mark or grade for the course, and will not receive any overall classification or progression information. January exam results are not released seperately for RDAP students.
• In July and September you will receive numerical marks for assessments. You will also receive an overall mark and grade for each course. You will not receive any overall classification or progression information. 

Visit understanding results to find out more about what your results mean.

Missing results

If you do not receive a results email at all .

• On results release days - please remember that it takes some time to send results emails. Please do not worry if somebody else on your programme has their results but you do not, your results are most likely on their way! For more details check the ' When ' sections at the top of this page.
• If you have a debt - In line with LSE policy, you will not be sent any final results  if you owe money to the School. We will confirm if this is the case on the relevant publication date. If you have a debt please contact the  Fees, Income and Credit Control  for further information. You will still be sent provisional marks.
• If there is an ongoing query or investigation - we will not release your results if there is an ongoing query or investigation around your results. This could include Academic Misconduct, or another issue we've identified. You will normally recieve information about this in advance, but if not please contact your academic department in the first instance.

If a mark is missing from one of your emails  

• Provisional marks emails sent in September  will likely not include dissertation, capstone and similar courses, this is completely normal because marking is ongoing. These marks would never normally be available at this time of year and are only published when final results are released in November.
• An individual mark or result may be held back from publication due to an ongoing investigation, query or processing issue . We always do our best to ensure all marks are published on time, but if we're unsure about the accuracy of a mark we may have to delay publication. You will normally recieve information about this in advance, but if not please contact your academic department in the first instance.

Can I get my results early?

No, the dates outlined in the  When sections above are the earliest that we confirm results. There are a number of stages that results have to go through before we're able to release them (see How results processing works ) this means we cannot release final results any earlier. 

In some cases we are able to release provisional results, ahead of final results, to give you an indication of performance. These results will not have gone through all of the stages and so may change. 

How results processing works (ratification)

Results processing involves a number of stages, these are designed to ensure that your final results are fair and accurate.

1. Submission processing. When you submit your work, or an exam script, it will be checked against registered and/or attendance records to make sure no work is lost and, where appropriate, remains anonymous.

2. Marking. Academic staff mark assessments in line with one of LSE's approved robust marking processes. Your department will be able to tell you which method is being used for each assessment.

3. External review. Academic staff from other universities review marking across the course to ensure it is in line with other UK universities. This is the first part of the ratification process. 

4. Collation of marks. Marks are collected by your academic department. These will be checked to ensure that the mark on the marksheet reflects the mark awarded by the marker.

5. Upload of marks.  Marks are sent to the Student Services Centre and uploaded to the student records system. 

6. Calculation of course level results. Individual marks are turned into course level marks and grades. For example we'll take the mark for an essay, presentation and exam and combine them to work out the mark and grade for the course overall.

7. Initial calculation of provisional classifications and progression decisions. We take course level courses and combine them to work out your progression status or final classification. Where appropriate, first year averages and aggregates are also calculated at this stage. 

8. Sub-Boards preparation. Before departmental sub-boards take place all calculations and paperwork is checked. Exceptional Circumstances submissions are also retrieved and prepared for the sub-board.

9. Departmental sub-boards take place.  All marks, classifications and progression decisions are reviewed by your departmental sub-board. The sub-board will also review all exceptional circumstances submissions and where appropriate make a case for the relevant School level board to consider. Where appropriate departmental prizes will be considered during sub-boards. Sub-boards are the second part of the ratification process. 

10. School boards preparation. After departmental sub-boards have taken place everything is checked again and collated in preparation for the School level boards.

11. School boards take place. All departmental sub-board decisions are reviewed to ensure equity and consistency across LSE. Each Exceptional Circumstances case is carefully considered. There are separate meetings for the School Board of Examiners (BA and BSc); Law School Board of Examiners (LLB); Graduate School Board of Examiners (Diploma and MSc); and General Course Board of Examiners (General Course and GO LSE). School boards are the third part of the ratification process.

12. Post School board updates. The student records system is update to reflect any decisions made at the School boards.

13. Final checks and prizes. All marks, classifications and progressions are given a final quality check. Prizes are added to the Student Records System where they are available. 

14. Publication of Results. Your results are published using the methods outlined above.

Challenging Results

We are confident that our assessment and results processes are robust and that the results we publish will be accurate. As you will see from the section above there are lots of checks to ensure that your results are fair and accurate. 

However, in certain circumstances, there are options to  challenge your results .

General Course and GO LSE students

Official documentation for General Course and GO LSE students (including those on incoming exchanges such as Erasmus) does not include numerical marks. You will only receive an assessment grade and class grade. 

Your home university will determine the subsequent accreditation of the academic work completed at LSE. 

However, to give you an indication of performance, the provisional results released in early  July will include a numerical mark for your assessments. Remember that these may change, they are simply for your information. 

You will also receive an email, from the General Course team,  shortly after results have been published showing your final numerical marks. Again, this is for your information only and does not constitute a transcript. 

For more information take a look at The General Course - Teaching and assessment .

Taught course results for research degree students

Mres students in the taught phase of their programme (i.e. those who have yet to upgrade).

Pre-upgrade MRes students are governed by the regulations for taught postgraduate programmes and managed by the Student Services Centre. As such, your results will be processed in line with those for other taught masters students – for details on timing, provisional results etc. check the sections above.

Provisional taught course results for MPhil/PhD students and post-upgrade MRes/PhD students

For confirmation of  provisional  results please contact the research degrees programme manager/ administrator in your  home department . 

Final taught course results for MPhil/PhD students and post-upgrade MRes/PhD students

For confirmation of final results, please contact the research degrees programme manager/administrator in your  home department, after the relevant results release date (in most cases this will be 19 November). 

Further guidance  

If you have any questions about taught course results please contact your home department in the first instance. If further guidance is necessary, your department will contact the PhD Academy on your behalf.

Intercollegiate students

Incoming intercollegiate students.

Incoming intercollegiate students are those from other University of London colleges who are taking courses at LSE. Results for these students are not published by LSE.  Please contact your home university for your LSE course result. 

Outgoing intercollegiate students

Outgoing intercollegiate students are LSE students who are taking courses at another University of London institution as part of their LSE degree. Results for these students are published by LSE and, where available, will be included in normal results publication. Please check the  When  and  How  sections at the top of this page for more information.

Transcripts & Degree Certificates

Transcripts for continuing students.

Intermediate Transcripts  are available from the  Student Services Centre  (during our opening hours) immediately after the release of results. 

Transcripts for students with an award

Final transcripts are issued using a system called Digitary. This allows you to share your transcript electronically and also order hard copies if required. Your final transcript also contains comparative data which needs to be calculated after results are published. Final transcripts are uploaded to Digitary after the publication of results. For more information, including expected time lines, visit  Transcripts .

Degree Certificates

A hard copy degree certificate will be available for collection during the Graduation Ceremonies. If you do not collect it during at your ceremony you can request to collect it from the Student Services, or have it sent to you by secure courier.  For more information visit  Degree Certificates .

(1996) PhD thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science. This thesis is based on field research conducted in Moscow in 1992-1993. It addresses a theoretical literature on urbanism, and examines the consumption and interpretation of space by urban social actors. The hypothesis is that a particular social context, in this case a post-Soviet city, can only be understood by examining the meanings of the city as these are constructed by its inhabitants. It is an analysis of the ways in which these meanings are constructed through practical experience as people consume things, spaces, and interactive moments as they move through the city in pursuit of individually intended, cooperatively negotiated and institutionally directed projects. It is suggested that the resultant meanings are the product of partial and contingent knowledge, of interpretations of the physical landscapes of the city, and of the socio-emotive face to face interactions that characterise distinctive places and spaces in the city. The thesis is also concerned with elucidating the nature of social change in the specific context of post-Soviet transition. The transition to the Market is examined through analysis of the ideas and practices of the city's inhabitants. The thesis concludes with an examination of the differences between Soviet urbanism and the urbanisms described by authors interested in cities of the capitalist world. These differences and their effects on urban culture, are imported to give a sense to the ways in which Muscovites consume and interpret the new socio-economic phenomena which attend the transition period. The thesis attempts to elucidate the links between abstract and changing social, political and economic forces and their operationalisation in everyday life. I argue that attention to the interactive moment illuminates the point of articulation between structural forces and embodied or internalised identity. These moments are cued by the specifics of different socio-spatial contexts, which in turn inform the ways in which social actors interact with and construct the meaning of post-Soviet urbanism.
