3-year full-time; 4-years full-time with placement The LLB Law with International Arbitration and Commercial Law concentrates on the realities of modern commercial law and the importance of understanding its substance, as well as the most important method for the resolution of contemporary business disputes. Developed in collaboration with an advisory board of internationally-recognised specialists, this LLB introduces students to specialised areas of knowledge while ensuring that they receive the broad legal education offered on a standard LLB course. Over the course of study you will specialise in arbitration and areas of commercial law of your choice. This will result in a degree that is both focused on your specific interests and that uniquely prepares you for one of the few genuinely cross-border fields of legal practice. Brunel Law School offers two routes to studying the LLB Law with a specialisation in International Arbitration and Commercial Law: The LLB Law with International Arbitration and Commercial Law (three years full-time). The LLB Law with International Arbitration and Commercial Law (Professional Placement) (four years) - this includes a one year industry placement. Previous placements at Brunel have been in solicitors' firms, barristers' chambers, governmental institutions and related organisations. The LLB Law with International Arbitration and Commercial Law fulfils all the requirements of the traditional LLB, giving graduates qualifying law degree status that satisfies the requirements of the Law Society and the Bar Council. Graduates gain the advantage of recognised specialised knowledge in the area of international arbitration and commercial law, and leave with a thorough knowledge and understanding of commercial law, cross-border transactions, international and comparative law, and cross-cultural dispute resolution.

84 per cent of our LLB Law graduates are in employment or further study. While most progress into the legal profession, some students opt to study law as a first degree as a foundation for careers in the corporate world, government or international relations-related professions. Graduates can take advantage of the professional exemptions available with a Brunel Law Degree and train to become barristers or solicitors. Regular career events for law students are offered by the University's award-wining Professional Development Centre (PDC). The School avidly supports the professional development of our students, for example by offering weekly career clinics in collaboration with the PDC. The Legal Skills and Method study block at Level 1 introduces students to fundamental career skills, such as writing a CV and performing well in interviews. The Legal Professionals Master Class (short course) gives students the chance to further enhancement such skills. Opportunities for law graduates arise in a wide range of activities. You may take advantage of your professional exemptions and train to become a barrister or solicitor, but your degree could take you into careers other than law, including mediation, consultancy, industry, commerce, public administration, the social services, management and humanitarian aid.
