Our programme offers critical insight into the nature, function and development of public international law, including institutions and sources to evaluate international law as a distinct legal system. Consider how businesses operate across borders, looking into the economic, political, and technological forces driving globalisation and their impact on business strategies. You will also gain an understanding of the principles and theories of world trade law, investment law and transnational commercial law to analyse the complexities of international sales, corporate responsibility and development.
We prepare you to study the legal and regulatory regimes governing responsible international business, cross-border economic activity, trade, investment and the challenges of international dispute resolution. This preparation will demonstrate your systematic knowledge and analytical thinking. These are valuable skills, applicable to a range of different careers where you will be able to demonstrate your awareness of current issues and new insights across the field of international commercial and business law.
The LLM can be studied as either a one-year full-time or two-year part-time course, with a September start date. It is also possible to study more flexibly part-time on a modular basis, accumulating degree credits by taking individual modules over a period of maximum of five years.
You will complete 180 credits to obtain the masters qualification, studying four compulsory modules (including the Dissertation) and one optional module. You will also have the opportunity to undertake a placement in a relevant organisation and take one of the language modules offered by the Language Centre.
The LLM in International Commercial and Business Law equips you with specialist knowledge of value to transnational law firms, multinational corporations, government agencies, and UN bodies. By developing your ability to undertake critical analysis, problem solve and present rational, coherent and accurate arguments orally and in writing, youll graduate with essential skills valued by legal and non-legal employers alike. You may wish to embark on a career in the governmental, non-governmental or private sector.
You will become equipped with advanced skills applicable to various roles, allowing you to demonstrate your expertise in legal concepts, principles and theories. The specialist research skills you learn also provide a strong foundation for pursuing further study at doctoral level for those interested in doing so.
