Summary
LLM International Business Law is a course for graduates of any discipline which aims to nurture critically aware and professionally adept future global citizens with a strong understanding of international business law.
The LLM International Business Law course provides an exciting opportunity to build specialist knowledge of the legal aspects of business dealings that cross a border. You will explore the legal regulation of international business, considering the perspectives of traders, corporations, individuals, and entrepreneurs. You will examine business models that cross a border and how commercial legal disputes can be resolved when a commercial agreement involves multiple parties from different jurisdictions. You will consider complex questions that arise internationally on the legal aspects of digital business models and data.
There will also be opportunity to understand the role of artificial intelligence in relation to laws that operate jurisdictionally and internationally that have an impact on business and professional practice. Consideration of contemporary issues relating to technology, law, algorithms, and ethics will also be covered during the course.
This course is a great step for any individual interested in understanding how the fields of business and law interact. As part of this analysis, you will critically examine economics, philosophy, business ethics, and law. You will be taught by a team of active researchers that specialise in international business law, competition law, dispute resolution, and corporate law. The LLM International Business Law team have a wide range of research specialisms which include areas such as the intersection of technology and business law, international/ national dispute settlement, European Union legal capital rules, and how intellectual property law is affected by digitisation.
**What's covered in this course?**
You will explore law from jurisdictional, comparative, and international perspectives. The skills gained on this course, such as critical thinking, critical analysis, and evaluative skills, will be crucial to enhance your employability so that you can problem solve at a high level and within many contexts.
There are options available so that you can tailor your study and specialise in particular areas of interest. If you are interested in expanding your corporate law specialism you can study corporate finance law, or study comparative competition law to build your expertise in commercial/competition law.
We also offer international intellectual property law to allow you to develop skills and knowledge related to intellectual creations. The law and legal tech module allows you to explore how legal technology is used in professional practice. The dissertation and placement modules provide some flexibility for you to develop as an autonomous and self-reliant learner.
**Professional Placement option**
This course offers an optional professional placement. This allows you to spend 20 weeks with an employer, following completion of your taught modules, and is a great way to enhance your employability.
The experience you gain through your placement will allow you to evidence your professional skills, attitudes and behaviours at the point of entry to the postgraduate job market.
If you choose the placement option, you will be responsible for finding and securing a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. You will be able to draw on the University’s extensive network of local, regional and national employers, and the support of our Careers teams. If you do not secure a suitable placement, you will automatically be transferred back to the standard, non-placement version of the course.
Please note: Placements will only be confirmed following a competitive, employer-led selection process. As such, the University will not be able to guarantee placements for students who have registered for the professional placement option.
