This course offers a true international commercial law experience. Common law and civil law perspectives of the subject are balanced as students divide their time between Scotland and France, with the opportunity to gain two degrees in one year. You will be taught through a mix of lectures, seminar discussions and tutorials, with an emphasis on seminars that build on reading done on the basis of the specific reading lists provided. The courses taught by Law share a common pattern; those in the autumn semester are assessed by exam and those in the second semester by essays. In each case you will be given a chance to practice this style of assessment and given feedback on your performance before the formal assessment. This course is designed for individuals with a background in law, i.e. a good honours degree in law (acquired or anticipated to have by the expected start date), or in exceptional circumstances non-law graduates with a considerable amount of relevant legal experience. Graduates of this LLM are pursuing careers in a wide variety of sectors including legal practice, banking, the judiciary, State ministries or academia. The majority now work in private practice or banking.
