Undergraduate Degrees

The five-year integrated undergraduate B.A. LL.B (Hons) Degree Programme is the flagship degree at NLSIU that offers students training in a range of legal and non-legal subjects. NLSIU pioneered this five-year programme in India with an intention to provide a strong foundation upon which students can choose to pursue professional options or further academic opportunities.

Postgraduate Degrees

NLSIU’s Postgraduate Programmes include the one-year Master of Laws (LL.M.) Programme, the two-year Master’s Programme in Public Policy (MPP), and our newly launched 3-Year LLB (Hons) Programme. The MPP is an interdisciplinary programme that provides comprehensive training in designing, translating, and evaluating the efficacy of policies.

Research Degrees

The Research Programmes are intended for students and practitioners keen on pursuing advanced studies, research and scholarship. The University offers the following research degree programmes: Ph.D (Law), and Ph.D Interdisciplinary Programme.

Online & Hybrid Programmes

The Online and Hybrid Programmes offered by NLSIU’s Professional And Continuing Education (PACE) is intended to make legal education more accessible to interested students and practitioners, desiring flexibility with location and time. We offer eight programmes to graduates of any discipline from a recognised University.

Research

Over the last three decades, NLS has played a significant role in legal research and reform. This has included working on key legislation that has shaped India’s development. Its specialised research centres have been repeatedly called upon to shape laws and improve implementation in intellectual property, child rights, and environmental laws, among many others. Our focus areas for the path ahead include state capacity in the 21st century, issues of law and technology, the future of work and legal system reform.

NLSIU Lives

This is not a school, where you will be spoon-fed. It is like an open book… you are not forced into any kind of regime, but are given the right kind of opportunities you need for growth. The systematic approach here prepares you for self-learning, which eventually grooms your personality. I find NLSIU to be the right place to realise one’s potential.

NLS offers a vibrant community life: incredibly smart and driven students, an experienced and engaged faculty, and a hands-on staff come together to give NLS its distinctive character. The peer interactions enabled by living in a fully residential university, allows for continual learning and building life-long close-knit friendships. As a faculty member, I treasure the autonomy I have in the design and delivery of courses, which allows me to innovate and keep the syllabus upto date and relevant.
