Course content

The global financial crisis has had a major impact on the way the financial system works. As a result, there is an increasing demand for professionals with expertise in international financial law.

You’ll be exposed to different perspectives and have the opportunity to widen your professional network. You’ll:

• gain a thorough insight into issues affecting major transactions in global financial markets
• develop a comprehensive understanding of the financial services industry
• engage with domestic and international developments from practical, regulatory and policy perspectives on financial law.

Brighton hosts the headquarters of major international financial corporations and is located less than an hour from London, Europe’s financial capital. This gives you direct access to prospective employers.
