The intensive curriculum provides a number of electives on contemporary topics in our international and business oriented streams. The courses and curriculum reflect the contemporary needs of a rapidly changing global legal profession. While the fulfilment of academic credits is the basis for the completion of the programme, there is also a mandatory research component which gives students an opportunity to write on topics of contemporary legal significance. To meet the requirements of our programme, the independent research paper must be of publishable quality. Students will be supervised by a faculty member and provided with the necessary help to publish his/her independent research.

Our teaching pedagogy will be based on the assumption that students pursuing an LL.M. degree have a strong academic background and basic understanding of their speciality area. Many of our courses will be taught by both leading scholars and accomplished international and domestic practitioners.
