Commercial Law and Maritime Law – (LL.M.)

If you are looking for a future career in international business, or are seeking to improve your understanding if you already work in this area, this pathway is ideally suited to you.

If you study for this joint pathway you will study the two compulsory modules from the two named pathways (Company Law and International Commercial Law in Semester A and Commercial Law and Maritime Law in Semester B) to give you the required total of four modules of study. The LLM’s assessment strategy is ideally suited to the needs of all students being assessed exclusively by coursework.

We also provide an excellent level of pastoral and academic support for our students, including a Programme Director alongside the module tutors and also extensive research support through our research methods and skills course that runs throughout the year. Social events are organised on a regular basis.

For international students we have a dedicated International Student Support Tutor and all international students are provided with access to free English language classes throughout the academic year. At the commencement of your studies international students are provided with a two week full-time induction week, which will ensure you are fully up to date with the dynamics of the English Legal System and provide you with the best start possible prior to commencing your studies.

Careers
