Joining instructions

• 20 January - 27 June 2025
• 15 September 2025 - 12 December 2025

Please note that Paris semester dates differ from the London LLM dates.

The LLM in Paris Timetable will be made available to you prior to 20 January 2025.

• 7-18 July 2025, with provisional weeks before and after the main period, if required (for modules studied January – June). These exams will be online.
• 8-23 January 2026, with provisional week after the main period, if required (for modules studied September - December). These exams will be online.

Please note that some modules are assessed by coursework, submission for which is normally expected within 1 month of the date on which it is set (usually the last day of class).

Students are expected to enrol online (details below) and we would like to hold a short 1-to-1 session with you on day 1, to ensure that you are “connected” via your QMUL student IT account, which includes email and access to our online learning environment (QMPlus). At the same time, we will be happy to discuss any individual queries or concerns of a practical nature should they arise. You should receive IT credentials and login details at the point of pre-enrolment.

We will present and exchange with you regarding the details of the programme from both academic and administrative perspectives, including elements such as the dissertation, assessment, and teaching models, as well as support and facilities available to you.

You will need to decide which modules you intend to take during the academic year no later than Thursday 23 January. We will offer academic guidance sessions and other opportunities for discussing your plans to supplement the module information (outline, timetable, mode of assessment etc.) you will have seen on our website and receive over the coming weeks, so that you can feel comfortable in making your choices.

We will introduce you to a range of opportunities and resources that will be available to you throughout the year.

The LLM community is very important to us, and we want you to get to know each other as much as us. Whether in person or starting online, we want you to feel comfortable amongst your peers and we will seek to break the ice from day 1. To this end, we will be asking students to introduce yourselves briefly.

Online enrolment is the first stage of the registration process and is completed using MySIS (the Student Information System portal). You will be sent an email in advance - depending on when your place at the College is confirmed (an unconditional offer) - which will include information on enrolment, as well as details of how to access MySIS and an invitation to enrol online. If you do not receive this information or are unable to access MySIS, please contact the Admissions Office on 0800 376 1800 or, if you are calling from outside the UK, +44 (0)20 7882 5511. The email address is LAWpgadm@qmul.ac.uk.

Please note that a number of administrative functions are triggered through your online enrolment. These include invoicing and release of your IT account information. We strongly recommend that you enrol as soon as you are advised to do so. If you have an unconditional offer and have not heard from Admissions by mid-August, please check your “spam” mailbox in case the email has gone astray, or contact us.

The online form will ask you to submit your term-time contact address which you may not know at this stage. If this is the case, you can copy over your home address details or provide your most recent contact address. If you think you will know your new term-time contact address shortly, then you can update this section before you complete the Declaration section. Otherwise, you can update your details via MySIS throughout the year. You will be required to upload a photo, a form of ID, and other documents may be required depending on your individual record

College Enrolment is the next stage of the enrolment process and this process is completed behind the scenes by QMUL and/or ULIP for all students before you can attend lecturers, seminars, etc.

Temporary enrolment

Students for whom the enrolment is deemed incomplete by the start of the programme, e.g. waiting on fees or payment plan confirmation, will be temporarily enrolled, which allows a student to access lectures. Temporary enrolment will expire approximately within 1 month; if you have not fully enrolled by this date then your registration with Queen Mary will be terminated and the College will inform the appropriate bodies, including the French immigration authorities.

The tuition fee for the LLM in Paris programme is a single fee, in EUROS, for all students regardless of tuition fee status, as listed on the LLM in Paris programme page.

Find out about tuition fees and the Tuition Fee Regulations.

Fees are collected by Queen Mary in London. Students are required to pay tuition fees before enrolment (please note that you should allow time for international bank transfer processing, and that bank charges may be incurred). The College’s Finance Department will send out invoices after you have completed the pre-enrolment task, and payment can be made by bank transfer or credit card payment.

Although a minimum payment of 50% is acceptable, payment of less than the full fee must be combined with setting up an approved payment plan which incurs a €60 administrative charge. If you intend to pay by instalments: after making the payment of 50% of applicable tuition fees and the €60 charge, please email fees-plan@qmul.ac.uk with your student number and payment plan request. Colleagues in the Fees Office will set up the payment plan and email it for you to sign and return a scanned copy by email.

Find out more about fee payments, instalment plans, acceptable methods of payment and other details.

Should you wish to pay prior to receiving the invoice, then this is possible by following the procedures for bank transfer or credit card payment, quoting your student ID number as the reference so that the monies can be correctly allocated.

If you are a sponsored student, you will be required to provide to the Fees Office evidence from your sponsor - eg your School/Institute, recognised government agency or commercial sponsor - confirming their intention to pay your fees in full.

Fees paid by bank transfer should be paid into Queen Mary’s EURO account:

Account name: Queen Mary University of London
Bank: Barclays Bank PLC
Address: Mile End Branch, 240 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1BS
Sort code: 20 -57-30
Account number: 58585966
IBAN number: GB91 BARC 2057 3058 5859 66

If you are from outside the European Economic Area, you normally require a visa to study in France.

Your visa application must be submitted in good time. Please consult your local French Consulate in the first instance for details of the visa application process.

View the official website for French visas (in English).

Information can also be found on the Campus France website.

Only students with a firmly accepted unconditional offer to study with us in Paris can be supplied by the University with a letter confirming their admittance to the programme, which can then be submitted as necessary as part of their visa application.

Please note that student visa processing is entirely the responsibility of the French government; the University cannot intervene in visa processing issues.

Students who obtain a visa should further take note of your obligations upon arrival in France. These are outlined on the Campus France webpage above. Effectively, students should ensure that, when you receive your visa, you also receive an official form (demande d’attestation with instructions) that you must present to the French office of immigration and integration (OFII) normally within the first 3 months of arrival.
