Overview
National governments and the industrial community have over recent years placed great emphasis on entrepreneurship and success in business. Such interest has seen attempts to lessen the regulation of business, and at the same time to move away from the post-war model of large-scale public ownership. Company Law has, at the same time, been able to establish a jurisprudence of its own. Society has demanded that corporate and business undertakings look beyond their mere economic success (important though that is) to wider issues, such as corporate responsibility for the environment, directors' remuneration, corporate governance, corporate crime, and the wider effects of corporate insolvency.
Our LLM International Business Law meets the current demand for specialist knowledge and skills in the rapidly expanding fields of international corporate and business law. It provides you with the opportunity to explore, in-depth, the legal regulation of the world of international business. Academically rigorous, our LLM will expose you to a practical real-world application of the law.
Our LLM is taught by an outstanding team of professional research active staff who have extensive practice experience. We have a friendly, open door policy giving you all the support you need. We place our students at the centre of everything we do.
Our first-class facilities include two mock courtrooms and a comprehensive law library (with many resources accessible online).
We have active student-led Legal and Mooting Societies. Our Student Mooting Society is one of the most successful in England. Our students have reached five finals in the past six years and have regularly beaten teams from some of the country’s most prestigious universities. In the past 10 years, we have beaten eight of the elite Russell Group of universities, including Cambridge, Oxford, Leicester and Warwick.
