COURSE CURRICULUM

The International and Commercial Dispute Resolution Law LLM provides a specialised pathway for those wishing to gain expertise in managing and resolving disputes in both international and commercial legal contexts. At its core, the course focuses on the study of dispute resolution processes and requires students to complete a substantial dissertation in this field, allowing them to critically explore key issues and contribute original research. Alongside the core modules, a wide selection of option modules enables students to tailor their studies to their interests and career goals. These include specialised topics such as international commercial arbitration, mediation, negotiation, and peaceful settlement of international disputes, as well as broader areas like business and human rights, law of international sales, intellectual property, foreign direct investment arbitration, and multinational corporate entities. Cutting-edge themes such as law and blockchain, global data flows, and corporate fraud are also available, ensuring the course remains closely aligned with the challenges of contemporary legal practice. This diverse curriculum provides both theoretical knowledge and practical insights into contentious and alternative forms of dispute resolution. Graduates are equipped with advanced skills and understanding to pursue careers in law firms, international organisations, arbitration centres, or corporate legal roles.
