The AUA LL.M. program offers innovative legal instruction specifically designed to enhance your skills and abilities as a lawyer as well as to assist you to further develop your knowledge of law. We focus on legal analysis and problem solving, as well as legal writing and oral advocacy, and we offer a balanced comparative law curriculum which covers both public and private law topics.

Majority of LL.M. program students hold LL.B. degrees from the recognized universities in Armenia or abroad. Applicants holding BA degree in other disciplines may also apply. Such applicants should demonstrate strong interest in and motivation to the study of law, as well as basic understanding of the requirements of the legal profession and the opportunities and challenges in the legal career. Previous studies of law (summer schools, trainings), legal internships or legal experience will be taken into account along with other admissions requirements.

Admission to the AUA LL.M. program follows the general AUA procedures and standards. To apply for the LL.M. program an applicant must submit a complete AUA application along with English language test score results (TOEFL or IELTS) and official LSAT test score results. The expected LSAT score for successful applicants is approximately 135.

The LSAT is an admissions test used by U.S. and some foreign law schools.  The expected LSAT score for successful applicants is 135 or higher.  Please note that the LSAT is a skills-based test.  This means that in order to excel on the LSAT you should practice repeatedly the skills that you will use during the test. Most importantly, the skills that you develop in preparation for the LSAT are skills that will help you to become a successful student at AUA Law.

AUA Law periodically offers an LSAT seminar free of charge to help you prepare for the exam. For more information and to register for our LSAT seminar please write to us at [email protected].

There are 4 required courses LW 350 (Business Organizations), LW 334 (European Convention on Human Rights), LW 390 (Master’s Paper), and LW 365 (Administrative Law), typically one per semester. The remaining courses toward the degree are electives selected by students in consultation with their academic adviser.  Students are encouraged to be proactive in designing a program suited to their career and educational goals. Some may choose to concentrate in public or private law; others may prefer to pursue a more general course of study.  Students may also take courses outside of the LL.M. program with the permission of the Program Chair (usually limited to 1 course for the degree).

Unless otherwise noted, each course carries three credits and academic performance is evaluated through tests, final exam, and class assignments and participation.

While the majority of students complete all requirements in two years, the maximum period for completion is three academic years, after which degree candidacy terminates automatically.  A course load of less than 6 or greater than 9 credits per semester requires prior approval from the Program Chair.

All courses must be taken on a letter grade basis.  A cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher is required for graduation.
