Program details
Overview
The Osgoode Professional LLM is a Master of Laws (LLM) offered by Osgoode Professional Development, with part-time, full-time and distance-learning options to fit around a working legal career. Students focus on one of 14 law specializations, choosing from degree options that include the general Professional LLM, a Tax Law LLM, a Canadian Common Law LLM, and an LLM in International Business Law, among others. The program is designed for practising lawyers and other legal professionals who want to deepen expertise in a specific area of law without pausing their careers, offering flexible study modes rather than a single fixed format. Full details on degree components, admission requirements and specialization streams are published on the Osgoode Professional Development website. It suits legal professionals seeking specialized, career-relevant legal training delivered flexibly alongside ongoing practice.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants create an OsgoodePD Applicant Profile in the online application portal and upload a Resume/CV, a writing sample, contact information for two references, and official transcripts; official proof of language proficiency is required if applicable. Applicants who have not completed at least one year of full-time study at an accredited university where English is the only official language of instruction at the institution level must provide an English language test. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request a National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) assessment for candidates who do not appear to hold a law degree that is a JD/LLB equivalent, particularly for the LLM in Canadian Common Law. A non-refundable $140 CAD application fee is required once the application is submitted. Decision timelines vary by specialization.
