The LL.M (International and European Business Law) is delivered over one academic year. It seeks to promote critical analysis of, and reflection on, different aspects of national, European and international business law. Students on this programme are examined in six modules and will also complete a research dissertation on a topic approved by the Dissertation Director and related to some aspect of international and/or European business law.

During their studies, students can choose from a large list of modules designed to deepen their knowledge of the laws surrounding corporate law and governance, international economic and trade law, international dispute resolution, international business tax law, regulation of investment funds and credit institutions and much more. Students may also choose up to two modules from the wide array offered on the LLM (General) ranging from Digital Technologies Law to Islamic Law.

The Law School reserves the right to vary the above list and, in particular, the right to withdraw and add modules. Note that modules are offered in one semester only and timetabling considerations may also restrict choice.
