Offered By:

Dalhousie University offers a Master of Laws for a duration of 3 years.
It is an on-campus, thesis, and course-based program offered on both a full-time and a part-time basis.
The graduate programs at the Schulich School of Law begin each September.
This department offers two options for the LLM program.
- The first is a combination of a thesis plus three courses.
- The second is a program of six courses, all of which require substantial written research papers.
Students may choose to do either of these options on a full-time (1 year) or a part-time (2 or more years) basis.
In the thesis option, students usually complete the program's 3 courses during the first and second terms (September to April) of the academic year.
If the degree is taken by thesis and coursework, a student is also required to:
- complete at least two additional one-term classes from the course offerings of the Schulich School of Law.
- present a well-researched substantial thesis of scholarly quality produced under the supervision of a member (or members) of the law faculty.
The coursework option includes 6 courses that each concludes with a substantial written paper runs from September to May and is particularly appropriate for part-time students.
If the degree is taken by coursework without a thesis, candidates are also required to take 5 one-term classes (15 credit hours) from the advanced coursework.
All coursework undertaken for the LLM must be completed with an average of not less than B with no grade below B- and students get opportunities for further studies such as PhD.
Before deciding on the thesis or coursework option, students who are contemplating future doctoral studies should note that some doctoral programs require the completion of a Master of Laws degree which includes a thesis.
Both thesis and coursework LLM students are required to take the Graduate Seminar on Legal Education and Legal Scholarship.
Job opportunities after the Master of Laws are Consultancies, Lawer, etc and the average salary goes up to 44,105 USD.
