Course Summary

Programme overview

Our LLM in International Commercial Law will give you access to one of the most important legal fields for global business. It is an area of law that is constantly evolving and innovating – and you will graduate with the knowledge and skills to embrace the challenges and opportunities presented by law in a global environment.

Our LLM programmes, including the LLM in International Commercial Law, are well-respected by global law firms*. This programme presents an exciting opportunity for in-depth, intensive study of specialist commercial law subjects, and includes a choice of units that build knowledge of the law relevant to international business transactions and contexts in which law operates at a transnational level.

You will be challenged and inspired by academics dedicated to progressive and innovative thinking in business enterprise as members of the Law School’s Centre of Law and Enterprise. The intellectually demanding, research-rich curriculum they deliver makes our graduates stand out, able to demonstrate excellent legal, analytical and research skills, and with a deep appreciation of the commercial context in which the law and lawyers function.

Empowered to pursue top-flight careers in a variety of sectors, our students have gone on to forge ahead in the legal, business and finance sectors, as specialist in-house lawyers – or working within regulatory organisations. Find out how you can do more with law at the University of Bristol Law School.

Careers

Graduating from a world-leading law school* will open doors for careers in a variety of sectors. The content and approach to teaching in this programme will develop and deepen your understanding of international commercial law, whilst building many transferable skills.

Modules

LLM candidates are required to submit a 12,000 word dissertation after completing their taught courses. Students select their own topic in discussion with tutors - either building upon something already studied or exploring something new. Supervisors support students in developing their research and writing skills through this process. Research training is provided to students in the summer, shortly after the end of the examination period. The dissertation allows students to develop and demonstrate research skills. These are skills associated with finding and selecting legal and non-legal materials. It also allows students to develop and demonstrate other skills with which they are already familiar ? skills of analysis, synthesis, critical judgment and evaluation.
