The LLM/MSc in Law and Economics provides a structured postgraduate degree which examines the interplay between law and economics. For both lawyers and economists, knowledge of the other discipline is crucial for a successful future career. For law students counselling firms that are active in international trade, familiarity with the economic effects of legal rules has become indispensable for the understanding of the clients' commercial needs. Similarly economics students will benefit from an accurate understanding of the institutional legal framework of market economies. The modules are designed to provide essential tools and concepts for all students interested in the intersection between commercial law and economics.
