International Economic Law LLM

You will be exposed to a detailed analysis of international agreements and organisations concerned with state conduct affecting trade, foreign investment, finance and monetary stability. Issues of international trade and financial regulation will be covered, and you will consider intellectual property law, investment law and competition law, and the issues surrounding multinational enterprises. Please note that not all modules will be available in any one year.

You will be offered a varied selection of taught modules from which you can choose, enabling you to gear your qualification to set you on your desired career trajectory. You do not have to choose your modules until you have had the opportunity to learn about them in greater detail during your comprehensive induction period.

You will also have voluntary access to an excellent series of lectures in Critical Thinking and Writing in Law to help you to improve your writing and research in law skills.

We only allow one application from our range of LLM programmes so please ensure you apply for your main programme of interest. Please note you can request to change programme at offer stage via your MYSIS admissions portal and also request this after enrolment via the School of Law Taught Programme office.
