Summary

A Master of Laws (LLM) in Corporate Governance, offered by The University of Law, is a postgraduate degree designed for law and non-law graduates to enhance their academic legal knowledge, particularly focusing on specific areas of interest. This course focuses specifically on developing an in-depth knowledge of Corporate Governance in Practice and can open up pathways to careers such as chartered governance professional or company secretary within large organisations, private companies and charitable organisations, governorships, and directorships. If you are interested in developing your understanding of how mechanisms, relations and process of corporations impact how they function and operate, then this course is a great way to boost your experience and give you the tools to achieve your career ambitions.

This course will give an overview of the key principles and issues within the field of corporate governance today. It will cover three main areas: corporate governance in its narrow sense; company compliance with a focus on regulatory requirements for companies; and risk management with a focus on risk frameworks. Topics covered will include: the board of directors and leadership; disclosure; risk management and internal control; corporate governance systems, controls and issues; regulatory requirements for companies; and managing risk and compliance. Taking a practical look at how to identify, set and uphold a corporate governance means that you will be able to enrich your understanding and skillset in this area, with the support of experienced practitioners who can demonstrate real-life examples to contextualise what you learn.
