International Business and Law (Taught)

Gain a solid understanding of law and business on a global scale with an LLM International Business and Law.

As the global economy grows and international businesses thrive, it’s imperative that the law must keep up with constant change. An LLM International Business and Law will fully prepare you for practice in this field.

You’ll develop your understanding of core concepts and theories in international law and business, as well as learning alternatives to the judicial process such as mediation and arbitration. You’ll put theory to practice in our Mediation Clinic whilst also engaging in complex moots and oral presentations to prepare you for real-life scenarios.

What’s more, you’ll demonstrate key skills to showcase a solid grasp of the subject through critical thinking, problem-solving, and practice-based writing. This will set you up for both a professional and academic career in this area.

The course provides you with opportunities to test your understanding of the subject informally before you complete the formal assessments that count towards your final mark. Each module normally contains at least one piece of practice or 'formative' assessment for which you receive feedback from your tutor. Practice assessments are developmental and any grades you receive for them do not count towards your module mark.

There is a formal or 'summative' assessment at the end of each module. Assessment methods include written examinations and a range of coursework assessments such as essays, reports, portfolios, performance, presentations and your final year major project. The grades from formal assessments count towards your module mark.
