The LLM Health, Law and Society at the University of Bristol offers you a critical opportunity to explore the complex intersections of health, law, and societal structures. In an era where health inequalities and evolving governance frameworks present significant challenges, this postgraduate degree equips you with the expertise to navigate and influence these vital areas. You will delve into subjects such as public and global health law, law and governance for mental well-being, and health law and the body, preparing you for impactful careers in a field demanding nuanced legal and policy understanding.
This full-time, on-campus Masters degree is studied over one year, with a curriculum structured across two teaching blocks. You will engage with two mandatory units in the first teaching block, covering health inequalities, law, and society, alongside law, governance, and health. The second teaching block allows for specialisation through a range of optional units from List A or List B, or foundation units if needed. A significant component of your learning involves a mandatory 60-credit Dissertation and Legal Research Skills unit. You will graduate with advanced analytical and research capabilities, ready for roles in healthcare regulation, policy development, or legal practice.
