International Business and Corporate Law – (LL.M.)

The programme aims to provide a bridge from undergraduate level studies (or equivalent professional experience) to research, focusing on a distinct although relatively broad specialisation. The modules are designed to ensure that students are offered a range of subjects to suit different areas of interest within a coherent whole and with an International and European perspective. The modules offered are intended to ensure students are able to engage with topics of current importance in the law relating to business generally and to corporations specifically.

Students are required to take at least one of the designated Core Course Modules, depending on their previous studies or knowledge. They must take five course modules in all, plus a dissertation.

The course modules offered within this programme are listed below. In addition, students may take one (or with permission of the Director of Postgraduate Studies, two) modules, from among those offered within the Law Department's graduate programme, or any Master's modules of comparable weight offered in the Arts and Social Science Faculty or the University as a whole. However, for this degree, a minimum of 80% of the weighting must be in law.

Please note that not all modules are available every year. Which is offered will depend both on the availability of staff (which is normally known by May for the following October), as well as the numbers of students enrolling for the programme and for each module (which often is not defined until the beginning of the academic year, in October).
