Learning Structure
The course involves both extensive independent research and discussion in the context of workshops, designed to encourage the development of your critical, analytical and reflective skills. You'll be expected to prepare for each workshop and to participate actively in discussion with your tutors and peers.
This course takes one year, with approximately six to nine contact hours a week. However, as independent study is fundamental to the course, the total study time should be around 36 hours a week.
You'll receive a high level of support both during your studies and after you have graduated. You'll be allocated an LLM academic tutor to support you throughout the course. We also organise events to help you plan your career after the LLM.
Taught modules on the LLM Global Business and Finance Law course are assessed through a combination of written coursework assignments and oral presentations.
The culmination of the course is a portfolio-style independent legal research project. This project will enable you to show initiative, engage with new ideas, as you're guided by expert Research Mentors.
