Widening participation and our focus on social justice

The alumni fee waivers reflects our strong widening participation ethos and emphasis on social justice.  Law at Ã山ǿ¼éÓ×Å® is made up of students and staff form a truly distinctive close-knit, deeply empathetic, community of learners, and we want to empower our alumni to stay connected and advance their learning and career goals through facilitating the study of our pioneering LLM degrees.

The application of these fee waivers aims to level the playing field for our alumni, considerably reducing the cost of studying for the LLM which becomes comparable to Master’s degrees in other social science and humanities subjects (and significantly less expensive than LLM degrees elsewhere).

Our socio-legal perspective, and opening Law to graduates from other Ã山ǿ¼éÓ×Å® subject areas

The alumni fee waivers also recognise the Law’s position as a key part of the School of Global Change, where it sits with the  History and Politics and International Relations, Sociology and Anthropology,. The waivers will enable graduates of these subject areas to build on their humanities and social science foundational knowledge by studying for a career-enhancing, professionally pertinent, LLM programme, in relevant areas of work, integrating theory and practice. These students will find themselves at ease at Ã山ǿ¼éÓ×Å® Law, in view of the socio-legal approach that the we take to the study of law, including at the advanced LLM level.
