Modules:
- Principles of Corporate Law provides a strong central core which links to many of the other modules in the programme. This module focuses on the structure and development of company law in the United Kingdom in an international context. It covers the radical re-shaping of company law in the United Kingdom in 2006 which will almost certainly impact on the reform of corporate law in other jurisdictions which have shaped their corporate regimes on earlier UK legislation.
- Corporate Governance covers issues relating to the distribution of power within companies and looks at governance regimes across the world. The impact of Enron and Worldcom has made governance issues much more high profile than had previously been the case. Dundee’s strength in the field of corporations is reflected in the other modules in this area dealing with Financial Services and Markets Regulation and Corporate and Regulatory Crime.
- Intellectual Property Law examines the statutory and common law regimes in the United Kingdom which regulate and control copyright, patents, trademarks, and design rights. Consideration is also given to intellectual property issues in a digital environment and the significant role of the European Union in shaping and influencing intellectual property rules and principles in the United Kingdom This module is closely linked to the Principles of E-Commerce module which focuses on emerging issues in the digital world and examines issues such as contracting in a digital environment, conflicts of law issues in relation to online transactions and consumer protection in an online environment.
