课程特征 Course Features：
This programme gives an in-depth understanding of the legal problems that arise in the conduct of business across national frontiers, and of the characteristic types of legal solutions adopted. Through the wide choice of modules you will be able to construct a programme appropriate to private practice, corporate or public employment in the fields of international business transactions and international trade. An additional feature is the possibility of taking modules available for other Masters degrees in the School of Law and the School of Business and Economics.
As part of the LLM programme you will have the opportunity to visit the institutions of the EU in Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Brussels for a week, usually during the Spring Term. Although not obligatory, this accompanied tour is regarded as an important part of the educational activity of LLM students who are encouraged to participate, as it is an invaluable chance to see at first hand the workings of these institutions.
The method of teaching is by small seminar groups. You will be expected to prepare papers in advance on a given topic which you will then present at the following seminar, under the guidance of the appropriate module supervisor.
