Aims
The CIM (BVI) LL.M. (Master of Law) programme is a one-year taught course commercing at the beginning of October each year and ending in June of the following year. The LL.M. offers highly-qualified and intellectually outstanding students the opportunity to pursue their legal studies at an advanced level in a challenging, but supportive, environment. The course is available to students from both Common Law and Civil Law backgrounds.
The LL.M., as a Masters degree, is intended for those who wish to pursue further legal studies after completing their first degree in law, including those who are considering an academic career or intend to practice Law.

It is an advanced course intended for law graduates, not an introduction to the common law. Many students coming from a non-common law background successfully complete the LL.M., but any candidate who is new to Common Law should be prepared to do supplementary work, since the course is taught and examined on the basis that students are familiar with the case-law method and with the basic mechanics of Common Law.
The course is taught in English and applicants who have not done their prior academic work in English will have to satisfy a language condition to be admitted to the LL.M. course.
L.L.M. students take four papers, each of which is generally assessed by means of written examination.
Thesis
A 15,000-word dissertation is an essential requirement for the LLM programme. The Dissertation must be submitted within six months after the successful completion of the taught programme. The basic idea behind the dissertation exercise is that the candidates investigate a legal issue meritting examination. The research must involve collection and analysis of original data or analysis of existing data in an original way and must make a positive contribution to the legal knowledge and profession.
