Study Details: 12 months full-time; 24 months part‑time
The LLM in International Economic Law offers an in-depth study of all the different aspects of the contemporary regime of international economic law. Unlike most other programmes, it overcomes the division between the main branches of international economic governance - world trade, investment, and finance - and raises awareness for common themes and challenges facing international economic law in these different areas.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Law (LLB or LLM).
We may also consider a UK 2:1 Honours degree, or its international equivalent, in economics, international relations, political sciences, or a relevant social sciences or humanities subject area.
While we welcome applicants from non-legal backgrounds, it is important to note that this LLM remains a law-focused degree.
If applying with a degree that is not in Law (LLB or LLM) please provide a personal statement and an academic reference.
The rare combination of doctrinal, theoretical, legal-historical, comparative, and policy perspectives which this programme provides will prove highly attractive both to public and private sector employers. The programme will be of particular interest to those students interested in pursuing a career in international organisations, government service, advanced research institutions, think-tanks, NGOs, independent consultancy, and academia. Students seeking to pursue a career in legal practice will benefit from the programme's broad approach, to be able to situate specific legal problems arising in highly practical areas (such as world trade, or investment law) within the broader context of international economic law.
Most of our courses include perspectives on professional practice and some also include experiential learning activities, such as mock trials, analysis of court transcripts, and engagement with case studies. These activities are designed to consolidate your understanding of key theoretical concepts by putting them into practice in real-world contexts.
