Law - International & European Business Law

Course Description
The LL.M (International and European Business Law) is designed for graduates who wish to specialise in business law with a view to pursuing their research interests in this field or in preparing to work in busy international commercial firms or legal practice across the globe. This programme will enable students to gain invaluable specialist knowledge from expert professors. They will develop skills to critically analyse the interplay between law and social change in a variety of different contexts within international and business law and conduct effective and targeted research in case law, legislation and academic legal commentary in areas pertaining to international and business law at a level appropriate to masters graduates.

The LL.M (International and European Business Law) is delivered over one academic year. It seeks to promote critical analysis of, and reflection on, different aspects of national, European and international business law. Students on this programme are examined in six modules and will also complete a research dissertation on a topic approved by the Dissertation Director and related to some aspect of international and/or European business law.

During their studies, students can choose from a large list of modules designed to deepen their knowledge of the laws surrounding corporate law and governance, international economic and trade law, international dispute resolution, , regulation of investment funds, mergers and acquisitions, and much more. Students may also choose up to two modules from the wide array offered on the LLM (General)..

The Law School reserves the right to vary the above list and, in particular, the right to withdraw and add modules. Note that modules are offered in one semester only and timetabling considerations may also restrict choice. Further information on the precise modules available in a given year is available on the LL.M website.

Applications are therefore invited from well-qualified graduates who hold a very good Honors Bachelor degree in law or in a law-based interdisciplinary programme.

Applications will also be considered from exceptional graduates in related disciplines in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences who can convincingly demonstrate that their studies have fully prepared them for the LLM.

Assuming that this basic pre-requisite is in place, thereafter admission to the various LLM programmes is at the absolute discretion of the School of Law, which will decide on questions of admission having regard to a wide range of academic criteria, including the quality of the individual application and the objectives of ensuring a diverse LLM class of the highest possible academic calibre. Admission requirements may vary from programme to programme and from year to year.
