Summary

A Master of Laws (LLM) in Child Law, offered by The University of Law, is a postgraduate degree designed for law and non-law graduates to enhance your academic legal knowledge. This internationally recognised Master’s course will give you the skills and knowledge to progress within social work, child custody mediation and charity advising.

The LLM Child Law is an innovative, flexible programme that will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of child law in practice. This course will explore issues such as parental responsibility and the concept of parenthood; removal from the jurisdiction; domestic abuse and children’s proceedings; enforcement of child arrangements relating to contract and advocacy in children’s proceedings. On completion of the course, you will be able to demonstrate the ability to conduct and evaluate research and use your learnings to offer resolutions that best reflect the situation.
