“Congratulations on receiving an offer to join the LLM programme at the Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London! As Programme Director, I am delighted to welcome you to our distinguished academic community.

"Our LLM is designed to challenge and inspire—whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional, you will have the opportunity to deepen your legal expertise, refine your problem-solving skills, and engage with complex legal issues in a transnational context. Under the guidance of our renowned academics and expert practitioners, you will be encouraged to think critically, develop new perspectives, and contribute to the evolving field of law.

"With a choice of nine specialist pathways or the flexibility of a General LLM, you can tailor your studies to align with your interests and career aspirations. Beyond the classroom, you will be part of a vibrant intellectual and social community, benefiting from guest lectures, student societies, networking events, and our international partnerships with leading law schools.

"Your journey at King’s will take place in the heart of London’s legal and financial district, where our Strand and Waterloo campuses provide the perfect setting for both academic and professional growth. We are excited to support you as you embark on this transformative experience, and we look forward to welcoming you in person soon.

"If you have any questions before your arrival, please do not hesitate to reach out. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore the wealth of opportunities that await you at King’s!”
