UBC's Faculty of Law is rich in the spirit of enquiry, committed to scholarship of the highest calibre, and ranks as one of Canada's longest-established graduate programs in law.
Its faculty and students at all levels, ranging from the professional degree program through LL.M. or LL.M. (Common Law) studies to the Ph.D. program, combine to make it one of the world's most intellectually exciting, challenging, and rewarding places to pursue graduate studies in law.
The Faculty has a long record of excellence in graduate education. Our LL.M. and Ph.D. graduates are employed in top-tier professional careers and hold scholarly appointments at universities around the world, while the newly-introduced LL.M. (Common Law), provides unique educational opportunities that are tailor-made for civilian law graduates.
UBC graduate students in law are a culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse body of outstanding students from around the world. All share common facilities and enjoy the benefit of a collegial life organized both formally through the Faculty and informally through the Graduate Law Student's Association, creating an unsurpassed graduate school experience.
Each of our graduate degree programs is carefully structured around a core seminar providing essential foundations of knowledge appropriate for LL.M. (Common Law), LL.M., or Ph.D. studies, as the case may be. Faculty Supervisors work closely with students in thesis-based degrees, and course-instruction is provided by enthusiastic, highly qualified law teachers who together teach one of the most wide-ranging law school programs in Canada.
The Faculty of Law is committed to providing the best possible range of graduate school experiences-collegiality, intellectual challenge, scholarship, and professional development-to students in all programs.
