Pathways are offered for those who wish to specialise in a particular area of commercial law. Each pathway combines law and business, with modules offered by the School of Law and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Centre. You will examine law from a comparative, international and interdisciplinary perspective, underpinned by teaching from academic researchers and practitioners.

Learn from a variety of guest speakers and gain real-world experience from industry employers. Choose from topics including issues in international commercial law, corporate finance and the law, legal aspects of mergers, acquisitions and takeovers. and legal aspects of trade and the World Trade Organization.

A postgraduate law degree can open doors to a wide range of employment areas, such as law firms and European and intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), as well as academia (with further postgraduate study), journalism and broadcasting, the civil service and other branches of public service.

Graduates from our LLM programmes have gone on to work for a range of national and international law firms, as lawyers and inhouse legal counsels for large multinational companies in the UK and abroad, as well as international organisations and NGOs.
