Yes, you can pursue an LLM abroad after completing your LLB (Bachelor of Laws).

Most universities require a recognized law degree like an LLB for LLM admission. Some may also consider applicants without a law degree if they have significant professional experience in legal fields, but this is less common.

You will also need to meet English language requirements, typically through tests like IELTS. Admission criteria and minimum scores vary by university and are subject to change.

If you need help identifying suitable LLM programs or understanding entry requirements, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for personalized guidance.
