Course content

Continual developments in e-commerce and a shift towards global trading mean that new legal skills and knowledge are constantly needed in many jobs. The programme will prepare you for a career focused in these key international areas.

• Commercial law has been a strength of the School of Law for many years, and this programme reflects the considerable expertise of the staff involved.

• You will benefit from our excellent facilities including the dedicated School of Law library; our main University library also contains our extensive collection of legal materials and official publications and is a European Documentation Centre.

• We promote a series of lectures featuring talks from highly successful lawyers and judges.
• We have a very vibrant mooting programme and a dedicated Moot Courtroom. We have an outstanding record of success and you can participate in internal, national and international mooting competitions.

Programme Structure

You will learn through lectures, seminars and group projects and presentations. The use of international sources, such as conventions, means you learn about the law in the UK while also developing a broader international perspective.
