The programme aims to examine in greater detail topics which have been studied at undergraduate level and to introduce students to new issues. Emphasis is placed on current international commercial practice so as to allow students to understand the context within which international commercial law operates. The intention is that by the end of the programme students will have developed a methodology which will enable them to analyse confidently the problems arising in international commercial transactions.
