Overview

This course focuses on the public international law aspects of international trade. It explores the regulation of international trade by international law and international institutions, including the World Trade Organisation.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • develop specialised and detailed knowledge of the law concerning international trade
  • investigate and apply the complex rules of international trade law to novel problems, and real-world and hypothetical scenarios
  • critically evaluate the legal rules and underlying policies concerning International Trade Law

Modules

The dissertation is a substantial piece of work (12,000 words) and contributes 40 credits (=20%) to the overall assessed degree mark in the postgraduate taught degrees within the Faculty of Law. Any description of a dissertation must remain fluid because of the great scope and range that dissertations can take. At the very least they should serve to explain a subject-area and thereby to synthesise known sources. At their best they are original pieces of work that contribute to understanding of a subject and are of publishable quality.
