The program offers a remarkable opportunity for students seeking a solid, in-depth foundation across key legal disciplines. They can achieve this by spending their 5th year of study at the Dickson Poon School of Law at King's College London, globally recognized as one of the world's top law schools.

Students selected for this program will have the opportunity to earn, in addition to the Single-Cycle Master's Degree in Law from Luiss, an LL.M. Master of Laws from King's College London, with eight different tracks corresponding to as many law specializations.

According to Professor Daniele Gallo, Jean Monnet Full Professor of EU Law at Luiss University, this program is: “A unique opportunity for Luiss Law students, a type of mobility that goes beyond a standard exchange program: full and automatic recognition of all the exams of the Luiss chosen major, several scholarships available, the chance to achieve a further post-graduate degree title within the 5-year academic path, multiculturalism, and thorough internationalization. Selected students will benefit from King’s College London’s international standing and top faculty, in a vibrant job market despite Brexit. For all these reasons, this LLM is an opportunity not to be missed. Moreover, this agreement offers King's College students the chance to study at the Luiss School of Law and to attend one of our LLM programs in EU Law and Policies, Food Law, or Fashion Law.”

The program requires tuition fees. In addition to tuition fees at Luiss, tuition payable to King’s University for the 2026–2027 academic year is £24,350 (home fee level). Please note that tuition does not cover living expenses.
