MANILA, Philippines — The University of the Philippines College of Law will begin offering a Master of Laws (LLM) program starting August.
In a statement, the College of Law said the program would introduce legal practitioners, law professors, judges and government counsel to the dynamically evolving body of regional law in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as well as its intricate relationship with Southeast Asian national laws, including in the Philippines.
“It is designed as an international law institution that promotes intersectionality, interdisciplinarity, diversity and cultural pluralism in the ASEAN,” the UP Law said.
Applicants must have a law degree from any jurisdiction in the world and an aptitude for law studies in the English language or have previously pursued law studies conducted in English.
The LLM degree is offered in two tracks: 1) Cross-Border and Regional Practice; and 2) Government, Public Advocacy and Judging.
It requires the completion of 30 units of core and elective subjects, inclusive of master’s thesis.
Application period for the program began yesterday.
