LLM International and Commercial Law
With the growing importance of world trade and the global community, lawyers are expected to look beyond national jurisdictions and understand issues of public international law and international commercial law. Legal employers now place a high premium on graduates with international commercial law skills. This programme will focus on the law and legal framework governing the international community, as well as various legal issues surrounding international trade and global markets.
This programme is flexible (in either full or part time mode) in providing two core taught courses (Public International Law and Corporate Law) and one other taught course selected by the student from a range of options. The student is also required to produce a 15,000 word dissertation on a specific topic, which will be supervised by an expert member of staff. As part of the compulsory component, the student is also required to pass the Foundations for Postgraduate Study and Research course, as well as the Research Methods in Law module.
