- Durham is one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. The Law School is a stone\'s throw away from the world-famous Durham Castle and Cathedral - a UNESCO world heritage site.
Durham and its region are a beautiful and interesting part of the UK, and Durham University is an enormously popular place to study, providing a wide range of extra-curricular and college-based activities.
- Durham Law School at Durham University is one of the UK\'s most distinguished law schools. It is one of the leading centres of legal research in the UK, but also has a very strong commitment to teaching and learning. Its courses are highly regarded across the world.
The School has excellent facilities for research and teaching, with its own dedicated law library, a large collection of materials related to law in the University Main Library, and smaller law collections are housed in the colleges\' own libraries.
Durham Law School is an exciting and rewarding place in which to study. Students are taught by scholars from not only the UK, but all over the world. They currently plan to recruit each year 175 undergraduate and 100 postgraduate students.
- Durham's general and specialist LLM degrees in 'International Trade and Commercial Law' and 'European Trade and Commercial Law' offer a range of subjects taught by experts in the field.

- To be considered for any postgraduate programme, candidates should normally have obtained either a Law Degree or a Joint Honours Degree with a major Law component from an approved University or Institution, at the standard of a good Class 2 Division I or higher (or of an equivalent standard). For students applying to read for an MPhil or a PhD, a Master\'s degree in a relevant area is desirable. Those applying for research positions must also provide a satisfactory research proposal - see the more detailed how to apply section of our research pages for more information.
Knowledge of English
Lectures, seminars and supervisory meetings are conducted in English. As a result, candidates whose first language is not English are required to present evidence of sufficient proficiency in the language before undertaking the course.
All candidates whose first degree was not conducted in English must take either the IELTS or TOEFL tests, and must normally achieve one of the following:
* 7.0 or higher on the IELTS scale (preferred test system)
* 600 or higher, TWE 5.0, on the paper-based TOEFL test
* 250 or higher, TWE 5.0, on the computer-based TOEFL
* 100 or higher, TWE 5.0, on the internet-based TOEFL
A candidate who has not attained this level of English proficiency may, at our discretion, be admitted to the LLM programme on condition of successful attendance at a pre-sessional English course run by the University. - There is a wide variety of tuition prices and fees depending on the chosen programme. The university\'s central postgraduate pages list all course fees for full-time, part-time and international students. They also provide information on the cost of living in both University accommodation and the private sector.
