The Bologna process and LLM programmes

For some years now I have been involved with law postgraduate programmes, generally LLM programmes, in Germany (University of Bremen) and in the UK (Universities of Manchester and Liverpool). My involvement had both a teaching and an administrative perspective. During this time, on several occasions I have been confronted by questions from partner institutions abroad and internal reviews about how these LLM programmes fitted into the Bologna process. The answers were not always clear, and here I would like to explore what they might actually be.
