Course content

Construction law and practice affects stakeholders working across the international construction sector. Gain the necessary legal knowledge and commercial awareness to perform your current role more effectively, or make the career move into this field, with our LLM Construction Law and Practice degree.

Accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and delivered exclusively online, this postgraduate qualification is designed to help you examine the responsibilities of employers, contractors and construction professionals together with the problems raised by the complexities of construction, design liability and insurance.

Led by academics and industry practitioners, you will build your knowledge of construction contracts and the law underpinning them, together with a wide range of standard form contracts to assess and manage risk. You will also examine the complex issues arising from the multi-party nature of the construction process, together with the uncertainties that can arise from the passage of time and latent defects.

We also offer this course as MSc Construction Law and Practice.
