The program offers a prestigious opportunity for students interested in gaining a solid, world-class foundation across several legal disciplines by spending their fifth year of study at the renowned university in London.

In addition to a Master's Degree in Law issued by Luiss, students who complete the program receive an LL.M. from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), with a wide range of different specializations in many areas of law.

The program requires tuition fees. In addition to tuition fees at Luiss, selected students will pay tuition to QMUL. Luiss students will benefit from a 10% discount, so for the 2026-27 academic year, they will be required to pay a fee of around £29,000.

Please note that tuition does not cover living expenses.
