LL.M.
in International Trade Law
looks at all aspects of trade at the international
level, and much of the teaching is at the
cutting edge of scholarship, addressing
issues that are developing as the student
is studying them.
LL.M. in European
Community Law addresses
all aspects of the European Community and
European Union. Students also have access
to a range of courses on the LLMs in International
Trade Law and in IT, Media and E-commerce.
Students have gone on to work in law firms
all over Europe, using their specialist
knowledge gained from experts whose work
is regularly cited in the European Court
of Justice and who are called on to give
advice by members of the European Commission.
LL.M. in
Information Technology, Media and E-Commerce
admitted its first students in October 2002.
The development of digital technology and
the convergence of the communications media
have had a significant impact, raising many
legal problems about access to and use of
telecommunications networks, the Internet
and broadcast media. The LLM aims to identify
and address these issues, thus providing
valuable substantive knowledge for a lawyer
in the ‘information society’.
The LLM scheme is designed to allow flexibility
in student choice: subjects will be taught
as short, specific courses. This approach
will enable students either to specialise
or to obtain a broader, more general knowledge
of the area of law. Additionally, the scheme
will enable students to develop key skills
from their undergraduate degree further.
LL.M. in UK
Human Rights and Public Law
has expanded its content markedly in recent
years, reflecting the implementation of
the Human Rights Act in the United Kingdom
and devolved legislatures for Scotland,
Northern Ireland and Wales. It can be taken
in full-time and part-time modes. It would
be especially attractive to people from
throughout the United Kingdom, and should
appeal to all those from the Commonwealth
or other common law jurisdictions, plus
students from other member states of the
European Union.
Full-time
(12 months) and Part-time (24 months) Study
