The topic of my research project does not fall into a particular course – can I write a self-standing Dissertation?
Students may request to write a self-standing Dissertation (ie LL490/LL497), but the LLM Programme Director will only allow such registration where the student in question can plead special reasons why they should be allowed to do so, can present objective evidence that they are well-equipped and best advised to undertake the proposed project without following a related taught course, and can confirm that there is a Law Department academic prepared to approve the proposed plan of work and assess the end product.
