Learning Outcomes This degree provides an advanced understanding of commercial law.

A number of the course options are delivered by specialist legal practitioners in the field.
Entry to some courses depends upon the student having studied the relevant topic at undergraduate level.
Contents
The courses that you take will be taught by seminar. Students are expected to prepare in advance by reading the required materials and by reflecting on the issues to be discussed. For the dissertation you will have a supervisor from whom you can expect guidance and support, but the purpose of the dissertation is to allow you to design and conduct a piece of research and analysis on your own.
The commercial courses focus primarily on theoretical issues and the policy factors influencing development of the law. Each seminar also offers the opportunity for students to raise and discuss issues that they are particularly interested in, including aspects relevant to the practice of that area of law.
