The Value of an LLM

Studying for an LLM degree is an investment in your future. It can lead to more exciting and interesting career opportunities. Many private law firms fast-track candidates with LLM degrees, meaning you'll have additional responsibilities and a big headstart in your career. And your career options are not limited to the legal profession. LLM graduates can work in law enforcement, big tech, social care, finance, media, and education. Others have found fulfilling roles at the transnational organizations working towards making the world a better place for everyone, such as the United Nations or UNICEF.
