Overview

International Business & Commercial Law LLM (Top-up) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a 6-9 Months (Part-time) postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Law is assessed largely through essays and problem questions, so written English carries the course as much as the subject knowledge does.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £8,950 a year.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Entry requirements

Academic
A bachelor degree in a related subject. Most departments look for the equivalent of a UK 2:1, though some accept a 2:2 with relevant experience.
English
IELTS 6.5

Careers opportunities

A qualifying law degree covers the academic stage only. To practise in England and Wales you then take the SQE and complete two years of qualifying work experience, and training contracts are competitive and applied for years ahead. Many graduates never qualify and use the degree in compliance, policy and business.
