Master of Law - International Commercial Law

Founded in the ancient silk and spice routes, international trade and commerce has spread to become the most significant activity of any modern economy. The provision of goods and services in other countries increased dramatically in the second half of the 20th century, and today continues to reveal new markets, products and commercial practices.

Bournemouth University's LLM in International Commercial Law focuses on the legal regulation from the perspective of a common law jurisdiction, and the challenges presented through membership of the international and European communities.

Students will be introduced to key concepts of English commercial law forms and look into several developments of the regulatory frameworks that control commercial practices. They'll also develop further skills in critical thinking, evaluate new and existing relevant research and enhance your conceptual understanding of law.

This course aims to provide a comprehensive scrutiny of the transactional aspects of commercial law such as cross-border trade and financing of international sale of goods. It provides an opportunity to explore how the law on this subject matter regulates the activities of buyers, sellers and banks.
