Overview
LLM International Commercial Law reflects international business in its diversity, innovation, and contemporary relevance, exploring transactional, regulatory and dispute resolution issues, as well as shipping, finance and access to markets.
You can study topics that interest you, such as international trade, maritime law, private international law, intellectual property, public procurement, banking and finance, as well as those regimes created by the EU and the World Trade Organization.
We have an internationally renowned team of commercial lawyers, combining established experts with exciting early-career scholars. Published scholarship is extensive, with every member of the academic staff engaged in high quality research. The school is also home to the University of Nottingham’s new Commercial Law Centre which hosts a series of seminars and other activities.
Academic English preparation and support
If you require additional support to take your language skills to the required level, you may be able to attend a presessional course at the Centre for English Language Education, which is accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK.
Students who successfully complete the presessional course to the required level can progress to postgraduate study without retaking IELTS or equivalent.
