Course content

Our LLM in International Commercial Law will give you access to one of the most important legal fields for global business. It is an area of law that is constantly evolving and innovating - and you will graduate with the knowledge and skills to embrace the challenges and opportunities presented by law in a global environment.

Our LLM programmes are well-respected by global law firms*. This programme presents an exciting opportunity for in-depth, intensive study of specialist commercial law subjects, and includes a choice of units that build knowledge of the law relevant to international business transactions and contexts in which law operates at a transnational level.

You will be challenged and inspired by academics dedicated to progressive and innovative thinking in business enterprise. The intellectually demanding, research-rich curriculum they deliver makes our graduates stand out, able to demonstrate excellent legal, analytical and research skills, and with a deep appreciation of the commercial context in which the law and lawyers function.

Empowered to pursue top-flight careers in a variety of sectors, our students have gone on to forge ahead in the legal, business and finance sectors, as specialist in-house lawyers - or working within regulatory organisations.
