Study Details: 2 Years Part-time
Navigate the evolving legal landscape
Gain a comprehensive understanding and specialised skills to navigate the rapidly evolving legal landscape shaped by technology through our online LLM in International Commercial and Technology Law.
Grounded in the latest academic research, our LLM focuses on the intersection of law, technology, and international commerce and covers subjects in online privacy, financial law, business law, AI and intellectual property.
The flexible study format allows you to pursue your LLM while managing your current workload from anywhere in the world.
We require an Upper Second (2:1) Class Honours degree in law (or the overseas equivalent), or a degree with at least 70% law content, or a graduate diploma in law.
A First (1:1) or an Upper Second (2:1) Class Honours in a non-law degree such as finance or business will also be considered, if you have at least three years’ work experience in a law firm as a practicing solicitor or have passed the bar exam and are working as a practicing lawyer.
If you have substantial work experience closely related to law but not substantively legal in nature, for example as a contracts manager, you may also be considered.
