Master of Laws - Business Law

This LLM Business Law offers two compulsory modules, both of which will give students the foundation they need to specialise in business law: Company Law and Employment Law. Students can then build on this foundation with two additional modules from the range of optional modules on offer, to fit their own needs and preferences. Alternatively, they can combine it with other complementary study routes, and graduate with a named joint pathway.

The Company Law module focuses on the fundamental and contemporary aspects of company law, and offers detailed analysis of the internal operations of a company. Topics range from the incorporation of a company, the rights and duties of shareholders and directors, governance, and remedies available to a company. The Employment Law module covers such topics as the concept of employment status, the explicit and implicit terms of a contract of employment, and an analysis of current Equality Law.

These compulsory modules are assessed by two pieces of coursework, and the Company Law module also includes a practical assessment.
