About this program
Legal and Constitutional Studies PGDip
The MLitt in Legal and Constitutional Studies is an interdisciplinary program in which students can construct an individually tailored degree with a primary focus in legal history or international law, or they can pursue an integrated, interdisciplinary, degree.
The MLitt in Legal and Constitutional Studies is an interdisciplinary program run jointly by the Schools of History and International Relations.
A part-time version of this program is also available.
Admission requirements
- A good 2.1 Honours undergraduate degree in a subject-related area. If you studied your first degree outside the UK, see the international entry requirements.
