Why study a Master Level Course 

About being a part-time student

Many part-time students are lawyers who are interested in supplementing their legal knowledge with new competencies they need in their jobs. Others are interested in changing their legal profiles to upgrade their qualifications for new jobs. But there are also people from many other disciplines represented among the part-time students, who need legal insight and understanding in their daily work.

What five part-time students say about their courses at the University:

“The course was relevant for my work. I gained more academically qualified knowledge in my area of specialisation. I will probably take another course again soon.” LLM, 43 years old.

“The courses are very thorough, in-depth and comprehensive. It is academic schooling. My employer thinks the price is fair. The workload is also demanding, but that’s okay.” MSc, 31 years old.

“I have an academic degree, so if I wanted to upgrade my qualifications it had to be at the university level. It is an advantage that the continuing education programme is a qualifying programme. The course is relevant and I use the discipline in my work.” MSc (business administration and commercial law), 28 years old.

“I work in insurance and wanted to expand my knowledge. The obvious choice was the University, where I would be guaranteed a high academic level. It is an advantage that you can choose to sit for the examination. I paid for myself, but my employer thinks that it is a good course.” LLM, 36 years old.

“I followed a course in European Social Law, which I can use in my work. The level was good and high. And I also think it’s healthy to sit for the examination. You get to brush up your law.” LLM, 47 years old.
