Summary
The LLM Transnational Dispute Resolution develops advanced expertise in the procedures and substantive rules that govern the settlement of international and cross-border disputes.
You will study how cases proceed before courts, arbitral tribunals and alternative dispute-resolution (ADR) bodies, focusing on commercial arbitration, mediation and investor–state disputes under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) frameworks.
Two 30-credit core units anchor your learning – International Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Law and International Investment Law, while a wide choice of options lets you tailor the degree to shipping, trade, finance or human-rights disputes.
The blend of clear legal theory and practice-based workshops means you finish ready for specialist practice, government service or doctoral research.

| Entry requirements | We require a UK bachelor's degree with a First or Upper Second (2.1) classification or the overseas equivalent in Law.
