This page covers LLM International Business Law (Top-Up) across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a 6-9 Months ( Part-time) postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Law covers the English legal system first, then opens into optional modules in the later years.
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.
