The LLM International Business Law offers the freedom to design your own course by choosing from a range of optional modules, which cover topics relating to both private commercial trade and country-to-country agreements – an area that has become a hot topic in the context of recent events such as Brexit. At the start of the programme we offer an intensive, week-long introductory course on common law. This is of particular benefit for students from different jurisdictions and countries, giving them a thorough grounding in the workings of this important legal system. Formal assessment methods will vary depending on which modules you take, but will include exams and coursework as well as your dissertation. You’ll graduate with a skill set that will be of great value to a variety of organisations. For example, you may choose to work for a commodity house, a large multinational law firm, a global corporation or a government body.
