Introduktion
Mode of Attendance: Full-time or Part-time
The SOAS LLM in Islamic Law offers a world-leading specialisation in a rapidly developing area of law that has increasing significance in Muslim majority countries as well as in the lives of many Muslims living elsewhere. The LLM deals in depth with issues such as those relating to families, financial markets, philanthropy, inter-state and international relations and globalisation. It offers a platform for viewing and understanding different parts of the Muslim world from multifaceted and diverse perspectives. Modules included in the programme investigate the meanings and applications of principles of Islamic law in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and transnationally. They explore jurisprudence and methodologies, family law, criminal law and financial law, and consider critical areas of intersection with international human rights law. Law and society more generally is a focus for the region-specific modules, interrogating the place and role of law in and its relationship with society, including but not limited to issues of gender, colonialism, constitutional law and plural legal systems.
Why SOAS?
The LLM in Islamic law offers wide-ranging insights into the operation of norms and principles of Islamic law particularly in the global South and in its interaction with emerging international norms and regional mechanisms. Those who convene and teach these modules are acknowledged experts in their particular fields and usually also accomplished linguists. The teaching is thus closely informed and research-led, providing dynamic engagements in class on issues of immediate contemporary interest. Staff have years of experience advising governments, international organisations, non-governmental organisations, philanthropic foundations, law firms and financial institutions. Some have been or are legal practitioners in their specialised fields. The modules attract students from across SOAS as well as from the School of Law, leading to vibrant, cross-fertilising discussions and exchanges that often add unexpected value to the learning experience.

Idealiska studenter
Varför du?
Programmet ger erforderlig expertis för alla som är intresserade av att bedriva en karriär inom islamisk lag eller i lagrelaterade karriärer med fokus på muslimska majoritetsländer eller sammanhang. Denna expertis är mycket eftertraktad inom juridik, finans och media, internationella organisationer och myndigheter.
Många studenter på SOAS School of Law tar åtminstone en av modulerna i detta program på grund av hur innehållet i kärnmoduler engagerar sig i kritiska rättsområden som alltmer fokuseras av utövare och beslutsfattare. LLM i islamisk lag ger en unik inblick i ämnets rikedom som kommer att tvinga din uppmärksamhet åt komplexiteten i historiska och aktuella tolkningar, användningsområden och repertoarer av denna mest spännande uppsättning lagar, rättssystem och rättsliga processer.
Varje LLM-student måste framgångsrikt slutföra 180 poäng, vilket omfattar 120 poäng av undervisade moduler och en 60-poäng 12 000-ords avhandling om ett ämne relaterat till hans eller hennes specialisering.
