Take advantage of the strengths of both a leading law school and a leading business school with this unique course. Modules are taken at the School of Law and the ICMA Centre, part of Henley Business School. This provides an invaluable opportunity to acquire a unique legal and financial perspective of the banking sector. The aim of the LLM International Banking Law is to train a critical pool of professionals in the key issues that the banking industry faces. This LLM will enable you to identify common aspects in the dynamics and mechanisms of the banking industry and to address the new challenges that the sector faces.

While many law graduates take professional exams in law and go on to practise law either in the UK or abroad, many others pursue alternative careers. The skills gained by undertaking a postgraduate law degree are in great demand from both legal and non-legal employers. While not disqualifying students from any career open to non-specialist graduates, a postgraduate law degree will open many doors in more specialised areas of employment such as legal practice in fields related to the banking industry, European, intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, academia (with further postgraduate study), the media (journalism and broadcasting), the civil service, and other branches of public service.
