Important 2025-2026 Admissions Update: Global Professional Master of Law (Extended Full-Time)

Starting in the third admissions round, applications for the Extended Full-Time GPLLM program are no longer being accepted for the 2025-26 academic year. Prospective students interested in this stream are encouraged to apply to the Full-Time GPLLM program stream. In your personal statement, please clearly articulate your interest in the Extended Full-Time stream and the rationale for not being able to attend the program on a full-time basis. While we cannot guarantee admission to the closed stream, should any spaces become available, candidates who have demonstrated strong rationale for pursuing the program on an extended full-time basis will be considered.

Program Structure and Calendar

The program's 10 courses may be completed in one year (three sessions with a F/W/S registration sequence) or through an extended full-time option that allows students to complete the 10 course requirement over two years (six sessions with a F/W/S/F/W/S registration sequence). Note that the extended full-time option is still considered a full-time program. Please see our Fees page, and the School of Graduate Studies Calendar for more information.

The program has one intake in September of each year. Please review our Program Calendar for dates:
