International Corporate and Commercial Law LLM

About the course

The LLM in International Corporate and Commercial Law is a specialist course that is aimed at graduates from a law or non-law academic background. Delivered by a team of scholars with expertise in corporate and commercial law, this course gives you the opportunity to develop your analytical and problem-solving skills in matters relating to the regulation of multinational corporations and international commercial transactions.

The course content is informed by a problem-solving approach to learning the legal rules which apply to transnational corporations and international commerce. Rapid developments in technology continue to impact cross-border corporate governance and commercial activities, from the growth of big tech multinational enterprises to e-commerce, blockchain contracting and trade in digital goods. These developments call for a coordinated global approach to regulation and this LLM will help prepare you to enter the world of international corporate and commercial management.

All of our LLM courses blend the following three themes: International, Business, and Social Justice. So whichever of our LLM courses you choose, you’ll benefit from a balanced postgraduate legal curriculum as well as the opportunity to specialise in your area of interest through the bespoke core module and your dissertation. You can find information about all of the modules on this course below.
