Programme Description
This programme provides a prestigious qualification and an excellent grounding for the future academic study of commercial law, for those intending to practise as lawyers, or for those intending to pursue a career in the business sector. It is particularly suited to those who have studied commercial law at undergraduate level, but consideration will be given to other applicants who have relevant studies and experience either in law or in related commercial areas.
Learning Outcomes
This degree provides an advanced understanding of commercial law. The commercial courses focus primarily on theoretical issues and the policy factors influencing the development of the law; and the issues are also discussed in their relevant practical, comparative and international contexts. Entry to some courses depends upon the student having studied the relevant topic at undergraduate level.

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.
