• Year one

Overview

Across semesters one and two, you will study a wide variety of legal topics, covering areas as diverse as International Human Rights Law, Public International Law, Corporate Social Responsibility and Commercial Law, all designed to ensure you have a strong grounding in key legal principles.

In the final semester, you should choose an area to research and report for your project.

In the past, students have chosen topics as diverse as corporate governance and the failure of banks, whether companies should be criminally accountable for the acts and omissions of employees, the death penalty and international human rights and an analysis of the implementation of the trade-related intellectual property (IP) rights agreement in less developed countries.

Also in your final semester, you will also have the opportunity to study a module developed in partnership with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), focused on consultancy, which can lead to a professional qualification upon successful completion.
