    Postgraduate

  • Duration

    1 Year

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. On this course, you'll look beyond national jurisdictions and get to grips with the issues of public international law and international commercial law.

In addition, this course has a new pathway on Business, Human Rights & the Environment which is the first comprehensive course of its kind in the UK and Europe to address the impact of business activities on human rights and the environment. For this pathway, the 'Business, Human Rights and the Environment' module is mandatory.

You'll be assessed through coursework, class presentations and a dissertation, so you acquire a broad range of skills.

About this course

Graduates may take up careers with international institutions or non-governmental organisations, or pursue university teaching and further research.

You should have a UK undergraduate degree at 2.1 or above (or an equivalent qualification (both level and grade) from a recognised non-UK university) in law or a related discipline.

What you should know about this course
The LLM focuses on the law and legal framework underpinning the international community, as well as legal issues affecting trade and global markets.
Overseas students without experience of a common law jurisdiction will need to take Common Law Foundations instead of a Pro Bono placement.
If you studied an LLB at Greenwich and took Corporate Law, Public International Law or a Pro Bono Placement, you cannot take these same module(s) again for the LLM.
