    LLM Programmes in Islamic Law

    An LLM program, or Master of Laws, is often taken by students who already have at least one law degree. This program allows the student to concentrate on a particular area of legal exploration, such as common or criminal law, and is usually a one-year program for a full-time student.

    What is an LLM in Islamic Law? This program mostly focuses on the legal issues associated with Islamic countries and cities. A dissertation on a topic related to the degree specialization may be required, and the passage of examinations in particular courses may also be mandatory. Areas covered in the program could include Islamic law, human rights and Islamic law, law and society of the Middle East, and the history of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.
