Master of Laws - International and Commercial Law

Knowledge of world trade and the legal framework surrounding it has never been more important. Legal employers now place a high premium on graduates with international commercial law skills. Through the LLM degree in International and Commercial Law, students will look beyond national jurisdictions and get to grips with the issues of public international law and international commercial law. Furthermore, students can study one of three endorsed pathways or follow the non-endorsed pathway. The three endorsed pathways are Business Human Rights and the Environment, Intellectual Property, and Ocean Law and Policy.

In a typical week, learning takes place through a combination of lectures and seminars. Students will be able to discuss and develop their understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller group sessions. Outside of timetabled sessions, they'll need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework, presentations and exams. Greenwich's Stockwell Street library and online resources will support further reading and research. Additionally, joining societies such as the University's student Law Society or initiatives such as the Innocence Project London can build skills and present new opportunities. Graduates may take up careers with international institutions or NGOs, or pursue university teaching and further research.
