Can I practise law abroad with an Indian law degree?
An LLM helps you specialise and may support qualification routes, but practising abroad usually requires passing local bar or licensing exams (e.g. the US bar, SQE in the UK). We explain the requirements for each destination.
What's the difference between LLM and JD?
An LLM is a one-year master's for those who already hold a law degree, ideal for specialisation. A JD is a full professional law degree (mainly in the USA) for those entering the profession. We match the right path to your background.
Which countries are best for studying law?
The UK and USA lead for global prestige and specialisation; Australia and Canada offer strong programmes with good work pathways. The best fit depends on where you want to practise and your career goals.
Do I need the LSAT or other tests?
JD programmes in the USA typically require the LSAT; LLM programmes usually need strong English scores (IELTS/TOEFL) and a good academic record. We confirm exact requirements per university.
What specialisations are available in an LLM?
Popular LLM specialisations include International Law, Corporate and Commercial Law, Intellectual Property, Human Rights, Tax Law, and Dispute Resolution. We help you choose the specialisation most aligned to your career goals.
How long does an LLM take?
Most LLM programmes run for one year full-time, making them a time-efficient route to international specialisation. Some research LLMs or part-time options take longer.
Can I work in India after an LLM from abroad?
Yes — an overseas LLM is widely respected by Indian law firms, corporates and institutions. Many graduates return to India for senior roles or use it as a platform for international opportunities.
Is an overseas law degree expensive?
LLM programmes typically cost £15,000–£30,000 in the UK and $30,000–$60,000+ in the USA per year, plus living costs. Scholarships and bursaries are available — we help you find and apply for them.
What career paths follow an overseas law degree?
Corporate law, international legal counsel, compliance, policy advisory, dispute resolution and academia. An overseas LLM significantly broadens both the scope and the geography of your options.
Does Unify Abroad help with law school applications?
Yes — we guide you on university shortlisting, SOP drafting, document preparation and submission, just as we do for every course. We also advise on scholarship and funding options.
