Like many other master’s programs, the MA LLB (Master of Arts + Bachelor of Laws) program also has an application eligibility framework which is unique for every university, although candidates are generally expected to posses a bachelor’s degree from a recognized institution regardless of its field. Some institutions of higher learning mandatorily require a minimum percentage in the undergraduate degree which varies from about 45-50%. In the selection process, other forms of assessment such as entrance tests or personal interviews may also be included. While age related limitations are uncommon, students are advised to check the particular restrictions, if any, set by different universities.
In some countries, the MA LLB is a staged course for candidates who hold a general bachelor’s degree and wish to specialize in law. While some universities may demand other languages requirements like knowledge of English through TOEFL/IELTS for international candidates. The study plan would appeal to anyone interested in law who wishes to combine social sciences and law for a multilingual approach to legal education. Prospective students with good grades, good communication, and an interest in politics and law will find it useful in the competition for places. Remember to have a look at individual’s university sites to get the precise requirements.
