Course Overview

The programme aims to equip individuals with the fundamentals of international business, through the development of legal knowledge and skills, which will enable them to operate efficiently and lawfully as managers, entrepreneurs and specialist practitioners.

It provides a disciplined legal context to an individual's business knowledge and experience in meeting the demands placed upon them in a highly competitive global commercial environment. The programme, therefore, opens a broad range of enhanced employment opportunities in business, management and administration across private and public sectors, including NGOs and international organisations. Specifically, LLM in International Business has proven to be a value-added qualification for business graduates who wish to enter employment where regulatory compliance is needed in the areas of HR, marketing, legal, finance-related businesses such as insurers and reinsurers, export/import and other supply chain organisations involved with international trade.

Previous graduates have entered multinational corporations as managers and administrators and indeed a few that were legally qualified before undertaking this programme have been able to enter into commercial chancery litigation and advisory practice areas.
