Programme information:

The Masters in International and Commercial Law is offered in conjunction with the University of Greenwich (UK). The LLM has been designed to meet the needs of a wide range of graduates in law, including practitioners, academics, government officials and advisors to non-governmental organisations involved in or intending careers in public international, corporate or commercial law. Graduates will be equipped with the skills necessary for a variety of careers in the legal profession. On completion, graduates will be able to:

• Understand the substantive legal principles in public international and corporate law
• Understand the substantive legal principles in a chosen area of study offered within the program
• Present findings and conclusions by means of an independent piece of academic research

Programme Structure

The program has been specifically designed for working professionals, with lectures running over the weekends*. This structure has the least impact on current working commitments. The teaching model is designed to give students more time to reflect on the content of their courses and to engage more effectively in private study. The structure allows for the spread of contact hours over six weekends per course and gives students the opportunity to read material in advance of classes and prepare for more interactive sessions during their weekend contact time.

*UNYP provides light refreshments during the breaks to students on this program

In addition UNYP will timetable a minimum one week visit to the Greenwich University during the academic year in order to enable students to avail themselves of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Library in London as part of their dissertation research

Graduates of this program have a wide range of career choices open to them. These include practicing international law within the student’s home jurisdiction; a career with the United Nations or other international legal institution, or with a non-governmental organisation; university teaching or further research.
