This course provides an overview of the main international commercial law issues that arise in a wide range of transactions. This course covers those aspects of law that commercial law practitioners could expect to encounter on a regular basis, including contract law, employment law, competition law, intellectual property and environmental law. The overarching aim of this LLM course is to facilitate the recognition and appreciation of international commercial law. It also permits detailed study of some aspects of law. This LLM course is provided by the School of Law in conjunction with Henley Business School, providing an invaluable opportunity to acquire a unique combined perspective of financial and commercial law issues

Graduates from our LLM course have gone on to work for various national and international law firms, as lawyers and as in-house legal counsel for large multinational companies in the UK and abroad, as well as international organisations and NGOs. A good proportion of our recent graduates are working with the European Union, the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Police (INTERPOL), amongst others. A postgraduate law degree will open many doors not only in specialised areas of employment, such as law firms, European and intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, but also in academia (with further postgraduate study), the media (journalism and broadcasting), the civil service and other branches of public service.
