LLM International Commercial Law and Practice

About

This programme develops your ability to critique international commercial law's core and contemporary areas. Drawing upon De Montfort's research expertise in this area, this course examines the theory and practice of international commercial law and assesses the efficacy of the law's processes to regulate commercial transactions. In addition, the programme equips you with an understanding of the methodologies which can be used to pursue research in international commercial law.

The modules cover contractual relationships in international trade, intellectual property, and regulatory aspects affecting transactions and commercial conduct, such as competition laws and those relating to companies and corporate insolvency, all within the international context.

You will learn to critically appraise aspects of international commercial law, practice and procedure to formulate, evaluate and adapt solutions to contemporary problems. Through various assessments, including presentations, case study analysis, individual exercises, report writing, and essay writing, you will independently develop and present legal arguments with a theoretical and conceptual basis to support positions. In addition, you will deepen your understanding of the methodologies which can be used to pursue a career in international commercial law research.
