Global trade moves money, goods, and power across borders. On this course, you'll navigate the legal rules that make it work - and the disputes that can disrupt it.

Our LLM International Trade Law equips you with specialist legal acumen and commercial insight to excel on a global level. You'll study the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, transnational sale of goods, shipping law, and international commercial contracts - including key agreement terms and payment structures. You'll also learn how trade law applies to states, companies, and global trading blocs.

As part of this course, you'll:

  • Master international trade rules, barriers, and dispute resolution to confidently influence global commerce
  • Interpret trade contracts, including International Commercial Terms (INCOTERMS) and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG)
  • Explore the theory behind modern international commerce law, including contemporary global commercial customs and practices (lex mercatoria)
  • Apply shipping law expertise to Bills of Lading, Charterparties, and international transport regulations
  • Lead an independent master's-level research project, specialising in an area that matches your career ambitions

Your learning will be interactive and career-focused, empowering you to tackle complex legal challenges, navigate cross-border regulations, and develop innovative solutions to real-world markets.
