EU law has become highly significant over recent decades, not just for member states, but beyond in transnational and international governance. Despite the multiple crises currently faced by the EU, European Integration remains a key process shaping developments in the member states, the neighbouring countries and international regulatory reforms and governance processes. This LLM aims to generate a comprehensive understanding of EU and transnational law and governance in a global context and to enable graduates to critically approach a range of problems in the field, with a specialisation either on substantive aspects or on procedural aspects of the theme.

Successful completion will open a wide range of career opportunities to graduates. Legal practice is increasingly informed by European matters, in particular in specialisations such as commercial law, competition law, employment law and welfare law. Graduates would also be very well placed to excel in careers with the EU institutions or organisations providing advice to national and regional governments in matters of EU law and policy or in environmental governance. Global careers in both fields are also an option. This intellectually challenging programme is also the ideal starting point for an academic career. Queen's postgraduates reap exceptional benefits. Unique initiatives, such as Degree Plus and Researcher Plus bolster our commitment to employability, while innovative leadership and executive programmes alongside sterling integration with business experts helps our students gain key leadership positions both nationally and internationally.
