课程特征 Course Features
The School of Law offers a number of Masters programmes that focus your studies on particular aspects of the law. However, this is the programme to choose if you would like to gain a general LLM. It combines the module units from the Justice, European Law, International Commercial Law and International Law programmes. If you do not have a particular preference for one of the three subject specialisations offered, enrolling on this general programme may be the more attractive and flexible option for you.
By enrolling on the general programme, you will cover a broad range of legal subjects. It will provide you with opportunities to engage with, to understand and to evaluate key conceptual debates in law. You will consider the role of law in its socio-legal and political context, and focus on key points of contention and debate within each of your chosen modules.
You will be asked to select four modules from any of those available on the specialist programmes. Some modules may not be offered if numbers are too low. In addition, you will complete a dissertation in an area of particular interest to you. Any topic within the broad range of the research specialisations of members of staff may be the subject matter for a dissertation on the general Law programme. Please see the School’s web pages for details of the research interests.

Module Overview
Teaching is primarily by interactive seminars in which you will be encouraged to adopt a critical attitude to the elements of each subject you are studying. You will develop a profound understanding of the relevant law and its underlying concepts. You will undertake sophisticated and wide-ranging independent research, looking beyond primary legal sources into the underlying theories and rationale of the English and other legal systems.
You are expected to offer fresh insights into legal problems and address the tensions within and among the underlying legal theories.
You will select your modules from the following list (subject to time-tabling restrictions). Some modules may not be offered if numbers are too low. Students studying for the LLM International Commercial Law must select at least three modules from the relevant subject area of their LLM. Students studying for the LLM European Law, LLM International Law or LLM Justice must select at least two modules from the relevant subject area of their LLM. Students on the LLM Law can select any of these modules.

教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
For our LLM modules you are required to actively engage in seminar discussion. Our modules are usually taught by way of weekly three-hour seminars in groups of up to 20 students. Staff usually provide a broad introduction to each subject area, placing the topic in its legal context, and then discussion is opened up so that you are able to demonstrate their extensive preparatory reading. Given that these are postgraduate programmes, the extent of reading is much more detailed than it is for undergraduate study where there is far more focus on independent student learning.
A range of teaching methods will be used in these seminars and at Surrey we are particularly keen on developing student presentation skills. As a result they tend to form a central part of the assessment process, and to prepare you for this staff will often require students to present on a particular topic as a way of developing your skills. You will be asked to read set materials critically and to research current issues with confidence.
