Course Overview

Our Law Fair is held annually and attracts over 40 law firms and other graduate employers.

Two dedicated law careers tutors are on hand to discuss career options and upcoming opportunities and advise about different firms.

We host a wide range of external speakers yearly representing the legal profession.

You get the chance to develop your legal skills during the course:

• The Legal Advice Clinic allows you to advise non-law students on legal issues (with support from academics and local solicitors)

• The 'LEGAL WEEK' is an informal student-staff discussion group that runs every two weeks and discusses contemporary issues with legal implications. 'LEGAL WEEK' allows interaction and fruitful exchange of ideas and improves current awareness.

• Your professional competencies can be enhanced by getting involved with the Student Law Society's debating, client interviewing, negotiating, and mooting activities.

Our International Commercial Law LLM stream offers an impressive range of specialist topics and allows you to follow a path of study to suit your specialisms and needs. You will choose eight modules from our comprehensive list. In addition, you can select from a range of subjects dealing with international trade and finance, corporate law, banking law, competition law, intellectual property, and the world trading system. To gain a specialization in International Commercial Law, you will need to select 90 credits from modules within this stream and complete your dissertation on a topic within international commercial law. This gives you the freedom and flexibility to explore other subject areas that interest you.

The course will equip you with advanced legal study and research skills, and our seminar-based teaching will ensure you have the opportunity to develop your verbal and written presentation skills, further enhancing your professional prospects.
