International Corporate Law and Governance (Distance Learning) LLM

Overview

LLM International Corporate Law and Governance gives you specialist knowledge of the law regulating critical areas of the operation of modern corporation, such as:

• the relationship with shareholders
• corporate governance
• taxation
• employment
• trade and investments
• competition
• finance

You will learn about the global challenges emerging for corporations in areas such as climate change, the requirements of sustainability, inclusivity, the change in business practices and workplace conditions caused by disruptive technologies, and the emerging legal requirements associated with the addressing of these challenges.

The programme is suitable for law graduates with an interest in corporate law - one of the important areas of legal practice, and also for non-law graduates who seek corporate employment, employment in organisations with focus on corporations, or development of their own business.

The programme offers flexible delivery, which includes face-to-face delivery on the Bradford campus, or distance learning. Full-time and part-time options are offered for both types of programme.

Career prospects

Our courses are shaped by the School of Law International Advisory Board, made up of leading figures in the judiciary and legal practice, academia and wider industry and society who advise us on the skills and competencies needed in the current and future workplace. This feeds into the design and delivery of our courses, ensuring our students gain knowledge and experience that is not only academically rigorous but valued by employers.

Career support

The University is committed to helping students develop and enhance employability and this is an integral part of many programmes. Specialist support is available throughout the course from Career and Employability Services including help to find part-time work while studying, placements, vacation work and graduate vacancies. Students are encouraged to access this support at an early stage and to use the extensive resources on the Careers website.

Discussing options with specialist advisers helps to clarify plans through exploring options and refining skills of job-hunting. In most of our programmes there is direct input by Career Development Advisers into the curriculum or through specially arranged workshops.
