Law: Law LLM (Dual Degree: LLB Torcuato Di Tella University / LLM)

Dual Degree Program: Bachelor of Laws (Torcuato Di Tella University) / Master of Laws (University of Toronto)

Program Description

This dual degree program is offered as part of the Master of Laws (LLM)’s coursework-only option, with or without a concentration. Students are not eligible to take the thesis option.

Students complete nine sessions (four and a half years) of a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Torcuato Di Tella University (UTDT). In the Fall session of Year 5, students register in the University of Toronto LLM degree program and complete three sessions (September through August). Students complete the LLB and LLM degrees in five and a half years (11 sessions) rather than the six years it would take to attain them separately. See the LLM coursework requirements (with or without a concentration).

Upon successful completion of the degree requirements of both programs, students receive a Bachelor of Laws degree and a Master of Laws degree.
