The Executive Master of Laws is a part-time LLM specifically tailored for the needs of full-time working professionals. The ELLM is taught through intensive week-long modules at the LSE’s campus in central London, with students taking eight modules over a period of up to four years. This provides a flexible route for lawyers across the globe to obtain a full law master's degree from a world-leading law school without interruption to their careers. Modules are taught by leading academics and span a broad range of fields including: arbitration; human rights and international law; corporate, commercial and financial law; and information technology, media and communications law. The ELLM is open to applicants who have at least three years post-degree work experience in law. This could be in a law firm, government, a company, a non-governmental organisation, or an international organisation. You can choose to pursue your studies as a general LLM, or as a subject specialism. If you take courses that fall predominantly within one of the specialist areas you can request that your chosen specialism be included in the name of the degree.
