This course is designed for graduates in Law. However, the LLM can be taken both by students who have already studied private international law at undergraduate level as well as by those who are new to the subject, for the latter will be provided with additional instruction. Graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to work in the domain of cross border disputes. They can specialise in commercial or family law aspects of private international law. Students are taught through a mix of lectures, seminar discussions and tutorials. A core aspect of the programme is the different learning experience to be expected in the French and Scottish components. This pattern ensures that you gain experience of different styles of assessment, testing both breadth and depth of knowledge and developing writing skills in advance of tackling the Dissertation. Graduates of this LLM are pursuing careers in a wide variety of sectors including legal practice, banking, international organisations, State ministries or academia.
