2. Research and Thesis: Many LL.M. programs require students to conduct in-depth research and write a thesis on a legal topic within their chosen specialization. The thesis is a significant component of the programme and allows students to contribute to legal scholarship.

3. Duration: The duration of an LL.M. programme can vary depending on the country and the university. It is typically one year of full-time study, but part-time and online programs may be available, which could extend the duration.
