Course Overview

Our LLM International Economic Law, Justice and Development is one of the few postgraduate programs in the UK to address the law, institutions, and practice that constitute global and local economies from an avowedly critical perspective, part- and full-time, in face-to-face evening sessions. Taught by established experts on theory and practice in the field, it introduces you to a broad geographical and institutional spectrum, from Latin America to Africa, from the European Union to the World Bank, and onwards to the World Social Forum. It is particularly well suited to (current and aspiring) lawyers and non-lawyers within non-governmental organizations, government departments, and in-house corporate social responsibility departments, who wish to critically reflect on their role as practitioners. Graduates go on to careers in the charity sector, local and national government, and law. Possible professions include barrister, solicitor, or civil service administrator. This degree is also useful in a variety of roles within charities, focusing on international development, as an adviser to a private company, or as part of a specialist law firm.
