Course summary
This programme aims to provide you with an advanced knowledge and understanding of international commercial law. Globalisation and technological developments have led to a marked growth in international trade, investment, and financial activity. Correspondingly, there has been an increase in the regulation of commercial activity at a national and international level, as well as in international litigation and arbitration. The LLM helps you to understand the context in which businesses currently operate and focuses on the legal responses to the developments shaping international commerce. The courses within the LLM examine contemporary issues in commercial law across a broad range of topics, which aim to equip you with a thorough understanding of law, theory and policy, as well as an appreciation of how the law is practised.
