Course summary
It is vital to understand the principles and main tenets of international business and trade; such as tariffs and customs regulation, as well as understanding how it affects societies, regions, and the environment. Our LLM International Business Law programme enables you to understand the complex issues emerging in the area of international trade, drawing on Birmingham Law School’s research strengths in the areas of international trade law, EU law, the law of comparative regional integration and transnational economic relations more widely.

As businesses increasingly cross borders and jurisdictions, the practice of law must equally develop and change.
