Master's degree, that is, "Master of Law", is an academic master's degree to train theoretical and academic talents, and it is a level between Bachelor of Law and Doctor of Law in law degree education.
Master of Laws, that is, "Master of Laws", is a professional master's degree, which is to cultivate applied senior professionals with a solid theoretical foundation and meet the actual needs of specific industries or occupations. Master of law can be divided into master of law (law) and master of law (illegal science), that is, master of law and master of non-law. The main difference between the two is whether the undergraduate course is a law major.
I. Application conditions
Master of Laws and Master of Laws (Law) are only for undergraduates of this major and do not accept the same academic qualifications. Master of Laws (Illegal Studies) accepts interdisciplinary applications and accepts undergraduates or candidates with equivalent academic qualifications. Master of laws is generally a three-year program, mostly for theoretical study, and it will be more demanding in scientific research and papers.
Master of law is usually a two-year program, and the tuition fee will be higher. Compared with LLM, it pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability and has more practical opportunities. There will be a second off-campus tutor during the internship. The requirements for graduation thesis will be lower and it will be easier to graduate.
Second, the differences in exams.
Master of Law is an independent proposition in colleges and universities, and professional courses pay more attention to theory, subjective questions and in-depth exploration of legal theory.
Master of Law is a national entrance examination, and two sets of questions are used in both legal and illegal studies. Among them, the topic of Master of Laws (illegal science) tends to practice, with a large proportion of objective questions, and its examination paper is easier than that of Master of Laws. However, for the Master of Laws (Law) major, because the candidates are all students of this major, the difficulty of the examination questions is close to that of the Master.
