What our students say about us

Jackson Awele

"Studying for the Executive LLM — at LSE has and continues to be a genuinely enriching experience for me. I have had the privilege and pleasure of interacting and networking with students who arrive with a remarkable range of professional and personal experiences and whose diversity of perspective livens and enriches every seminar. Everyone brings genuine real-world insight into the theory of law. The tutorial and respectful lecturing style, the beautiful, modern learning environment and the wealth of academic resources, both online and physical, support learning in just the way I had envisioned for my masters degree. Needless to say, the reputational value of the School (which was a big consideration for me) speaks for itself. Add to it its location at the heart of London's traditional legal and social district and LSE combines it all so beautifully. Certainly worth every air mile, minute and pound I have spent!"

"The Executive LLM at LSE has lived up to its promise to be really flexible, stimulating and enriching. Thanks to its modular setup, I have been able to follow it while full time leading an international team and raising a family. The teaching has been engaging and world class. The discussions with the accomplished and diverse professionals that my fellow students are, have been just as valuable, both inside and outside of class. Overall, the program has been a truly transformative experience for me."

Arthur Sewell

"The Executive LLM at LSE has been a great experience. As in-house counsel at a hedge fund, I was looking for a programme that would build on my practical experience, and I’ve found the Corporate and Commercial stream relevant and useful. It’s given me a broader perspective on the legal and commercial issues that businesses face, while complementing the work I do every day. I’ve also appreciated the quality of the teaching and the opportunity to learn alongside people from a wide range of professional backgrounds. The discussions in class have been thoughtful and practical, and hearing different perspectives from experienced lawyers has been one of the most valuable parts of the programme. I’d recommend the Executive LLM to anyone looking for a course that combines LSE’s academic rigour with practical relevance."

"Undertaking the LSE ELLM has been a very rewarding and professionally enriching experience. The programme has not only enabled me to pursue a postgraduate degree in an internationally prestigious university, but to do so whilst still working full-time. The programme is delivered in a manner that optimises use of  technology and teaching platforms without compromising on the learning experience from immensely knowledgeable academic staff and thought leaders. The cherry on the cake has been the opportunity to network and learn with practitioners from various jurisdictions."

Adrien Arsenec

"The Executive LLM at LSE has been a transformative experience that I would recommend without hesitation. The programme gave me invaluable tools for building bridges between different legal systems — a skill that sits at the heart of modern legal practice. What truly sets it apart, however, is the cohort: a remarkable group of international lawyers who bring intellectual curiosity, genuine humility, and a shared drive to become better at what they do. The academic staff are excellent — rigorous, engaged, and deeply committed to the programme’s goals. And crucially, the flexibility to pursue the degree alongside a full-time career is matched by the responsiveness of both academic and administrative staff, who go out of their way to make things easier for participants — doing everything they can within the constraints of a highly regulated institution. For any lawyer looking to sharpen their thinking and expand their global perspective, this is the programme."

"The ELLM has genuinely exceeded every expectation. The faculty are both great academicians and practitioners ; thought leaders who bring the law to life with a depth and intellectual generosity that is rare to find in any educational setting. What makes the classroom experience truly extraordinary, however, is the room itself: sitting alongside professionals from a dozen different jurisdictions, watching a French corporate lawyer and a Nigerian regulatory counsel lock horns over the same statutory interpretation, or an Asian arbitration specialist reframe an entire debate with a single comparative insight .That is an education no textbook can replicate. The modules are sharp, relevant, and built by professors who understand where the law is going, not just where it has been. Crucially, the programme is designed with the realities of executive life in mind as the scheduling is genuinely flexible, yet it demands the same intellectual rigour and analytical precision as any full-time LLM. There are no shortcuts, and you would not want them. All of this unfolds in the heart of London, a city that is itself a living seminar in international law, commerce, and policy. The ELLM has sharpened how I think, broadened how I argue, and connected me to a network of legal minds I will draw on for the rest of my career."
