On this degree you will gain a sound knowledge of the
subject and learn how to apply it in an international environment. You will
also have the chance to specialise according to your interests. These skills
will set you apart, as they are some of the most highly sought after attributes
of modern legal practice. You will be taught by experts, many of whom
have practised law at leading international commercial law
firms.
If you are already working in international commerce law, or aspire to a career
in this sector, this course has been designed for you.
You will learn to think from a global legal perspective whilst becoming expert
in the law of international commerce. You will graduate ready to work in
private practice, in industry, or within a government department or regulator.
Gain a thorough grounding in your
subject with the core module, Foundations of International Commercial Law. Here
you will discover the essential elements of international commercial law and
explore what drives the law governing international commerce, the reasons for
harmonisation of the law in this area, the institutions involved in the
harmonisation process and the scope of that process.
You will explore several areas of
international commercial practice in which attempts have been made to harmonise
or codify the law, and consider how successful these efforts have been, and
ways in which the process can be improved.
You will then have the chance to
specialise by choosing from a wide range of optional modules such as
Comparative International Sales Law, International Carriage and Insurance Law,
Banking Law and Practice, Law and Practice of International Project Finance,
Law and Practice of International Commercial Payments, International Commercial
Arbitration, International Commercial Litigation and International Investment
Law.
You will also take the compulsory
non-credit bearing Postgraduate Legal Skills and Research module at the start
of your course and write a dissertation on an area of specific interest to you
during the summer months.
You will have the chance to develop your
research and analytical skills, and learn how to develop and communicate your
own ideas. You may also decide to take part in the world-famous Willem C Vis
Moot.
With the consent of the Course Director,
you can also choose up to 40 credits from modules from other postgraduate
courses offered by UEA, allowing you to personalise your course to your
specific interests. For example, you might choose a module from one of UEA’s
International Relations, International Development, Business, or Economics
courses.
