Postgraduate Admission Information

The Law School operates an equal opportunities admissions policy. It aims to ensure that no applicant receives less favourable consideration on grounds of gender, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, religious belief or sexual orientation.

Eligibility

Applicants should normally have a good first degree in Law or, exceptionally, in a related subject from a recognised higher education institution in the UK or overseas. Click here for further information on entry requirements for international students.

The school welcomes applications from those wishing to return to academic study to further their knowledge, or those who wish to study for a degree while remaining in full-time employment. The majority of our LLM courses are available on a part-time basis for home or EU applicants.

We welcome applications from those whose first language is not English. To ensure such students benefit fully from postgraduate study, we require evidence of proficiency in English. Our usual entry requirements are:

Research Degrees: IELTS 7.0 / TOEFL 630, or equivalent;
Taught Degrees: IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL 575, or equivalent.

If you do not quite meet our entry requirements we may require you to complete a pre-sessional English for Academic Purposes course at INTO here at the university.

How to apply

You can apply online (taught postgraduate courses only) or download the application and reference forms below. Alternatively you can contact us and we will send you an application form by post.

All applications need to be accompanied by certified transcripts from the candidate's earlier university setting out examination results to date and the official results of IELTS/TOEFL English tests when relevant. Applicants for research degrees should also include a comprehensive statement of their proposed area of research.

If you are an applicant from the United Kingdom or the European Union please send your application and supporting documentation to:

The Faculty of Social Sciences, Admissions Office, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ, United Kingdom

If you are an applicant from outside the European Union please send your application and supporting documentation to:

The International Office, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ, United Kingdom

Applications can also be returned by fax to +44 (0)1603 451999 or scanned and attached to an email and sent to pglaw@uea.ac.uk.

There is no specific deadline by which applications must be received by, however applicants seeking financial support either from external sources or from the university are advised to submit their applications as early as possible and preferably by 1 March in the year of entry. The selection of a student by his or her home university to come to the University of East Anglia under an exchange agreement does not guarantee a student a place on any of the postgraduate programmes. Any student selected under an exchange agreement must complete an application form for the relevant postgraduate programme in the usual way.

Home/EU: £3,300 (full time), £1,650* (part time)

Overseas: £9,500 (taught full time), £9,300 (research full time)
