LLM International Business Law

We live in an increasingly global community, and commerce across borders continues to rise. Understanding how the law works on an international scale for business and commercial interactions is useful for a number of different roles.

Many undergraduate law degrees contain little content about international business law – so if you are a lawyer who wishes to specialise, this comprehensive degree in the field will help distinguish your skills amongst legal practitioner peers. For those of you in managerial roles whose companies span across national borders, this course will help your understanding of the minutiae of details relating to transnational commercial dealings. And for those who simply want to gain further understanding of the nature of international business law, this course will provide a thorough grounding in the relevant legal topics.

The course will delve into many legal topics including:

• the general principles of transnational contract law
• the remit, procedures and operation of the World Trade Organisation
• competition law and how it is implemented at a national and international level

You will also be able to tailor your course to your interests with a range of optional modules. You will round off your studies by conducting an original research project on the topic of your choice within the field. You will gather data, conduct analysis and create a well-written and thoughtful dissertation on the subject.

Entry requirements for undergraduate study

There are two different entry routes onto our undergraduate degrees: the academic entry route, and the work experience entry route.

The academic route is probably the best-known option, as it’s similar to the entry requirements for a brick-and-mortar university. You need at least two A-levels (or equivalent), with no specification of what subject or grade they should be.

The work experience route opens up the world of higher education to those without A-levels. You need GCSE Maths and English (grade A-C), plus three years’ work experience that is relevant to the field you wish to study.

What if you don’t meet these requirements but you’re still keen to study? That’s where our CertHE comes in! These courses have an open entry route, which means you don’t need any previous academic qualifications to start studying. This is a great route for those without a traditional academic background to progress onto the Bachelors degree.
