International Commercial Law (Taught)

Global commercial transactions are becoming more complex, posing new legal challenges.

On this course, you’ll:

• look at the law in a commercial setting

• learn to resolve business disputes between or among transnational parties through the use of arbitrators and through courts

• explore the legal framework governing commercial activities and cross-border transactions

• develop the practical skills needed to act as a legal adviser during international commercial transactions

• learn to assess cutting-edge scenarios and recent reforms in international commercial law.

This course is ideal if you’re already a legal practitioner or in business and wish to gain an understanding of the legal context for international business deals. It’s also suitable for anyone preparing for further research in this area.

Throughout your studies, you’ll have the opportunity to network with professionals, practitioners and activists from around the world. These networks will also be valuable after you graduate.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
