With trade disputes, economic uncertainty and shifting global priorities reshaping international markets, understanding the law has never been more important.
Our LLM International Economic Law gives you the specialist knowledge to navigate the legal rules, institutions and policies governing cross-border trade, investment and finance.
Such expertise is in growing demand as trade patterns shift, sanctions regimes expand and digital commerce reshapes global markets. Graduate with the skills you need to be work at the centre of such changes.
Throughout your studies, you will examine the development and operation of the multilateral trading system, the World Trade Organization and regional trade agreements, alongside international investment frameworks. Case-based learning puts you directly into real disputes, sanctions regimes and investment arbitrations, giving you legal analysis skills you can use in action.
Our teaching is informed by our internationally recognised research. You will learn from academics whose work contributes to debates on international economic policy. We will bring global perspectives into your learning, through our strong links to organisations including the United Nations, the World Trade Organization and a range of legal authorities.
Our course pairs advanced academic study with hands-on legal practice. Through our Justice Hub Legal Advice Centre and our specialist moot courtroom, you can put legal knowledge to work on real issues while sharpening the reasoning, advocacy and research skills that set you apart.
You will graduate as part of one of Europe's leading law schools, ready to critique, design and apply the legal tools that underpin international economic activity.
Strong partnerships
The Law School works with organisations beyond higher education – from leading NGOs to blue-chip companies – so your research tackles real-world issues. Recent projects have informed national healthcare guidelines and shaped police procedures in Norway, Australia and Brazil, giving you experience that resonates far outside the classroom.
Justice Hub
Our Justice Hub brings together students, staff and local practitioners to provide free, supervised legal advice to the community – giving you hands-on casework experience while making a positive social impact.
International impact
You learn from academics whose evidence is cited by bodies such as the United Nations, World Trade Organization and national governments. Their policy-shaping work feeds directly into seminars, ensuring the LLM stays aligned with the latest developments in international business and commercial law.
We require a UK bachelor's degree with a First or Upper Second (2.1) classification or the overseas equivalent in Law. Candidates should demonstrate a strong background in Law modules relevant to the course, including Public Law and Contract Law and achieve scores of 2.1 or above in relevant modules.
When assessing your academic record, we consider the grades you have achieved and the standing of the institution where you studied your qualification.
