Course content

Explore the legal foundations of the global economy with the in depth study of the effect of trade, investment and competition on international business. The advent of Brexit makes the study of these important international subjects all the more compelling.

Objectives:
The Master of Laws (LLM) in International Economic Law focuses on the international laws which underpin the broad functioning of the global economy across a range of legal fields. It consists of classic modules on World Trade Law and International Investment Law as well subjects such as International Tax, Competition and Energy Law.

The demand for graduates in this specialist field is growing rapidly given Brexit and the increasing global integration of regulation of economic activity as seen in the rise in free trade agreements, investment treaties and international energy agreements.
