Course summary
Overview
In today's increasingly economically interdependent world, there are few states that don’t engage in international trade. The importance of an efficient and effective legal framework for the facilitation of international trade and investment is widely acknowledged.
Studying international trade law, rather than national trade law, is essential if you intend to enter a career in trade or a trade-related government department. By becoming an expert in this specialist area of law, you will build a firm foundation in the law and legal practice in this challenging and complex area, gaining a clear understanding of why a predictable and clear legal framework is essential for efficient and effective cross-border trade. This course is ideal if you have an analytical mind and a curiosity about how law can assist world trade.
UEA Law School is housed in the historic Earlham Hall. You will join a vibrant, dynamic community of students from diverse backgrounds. On this course, you will learn to think from an international, rather than national, legal perspective and develop your research and analytical skills.
We offer placement opportunities and chances to build your CV through extra-curricular activities and the Law School’s unique employability programme. You could benefit from our alumni-mentoring scheme, as well as attend some of our many career events where you can network with law firms, barrister chambers and alumni. You can apply for internship placements, attend careers panels, commercial awareness workshops, mock job interviews, our annual Law Careers Fair and many other events organised by the UEA Law School and the Careers Service.
Our LLM International Trade Law graduates are highly regarded by employers, both inside and outside the legal profession, and we have well established relationships with many local, regional, national and international law firms, some of which offer exclusive placements to UEA students.
