Comparative Private Law

Drawing on both the civil and common law tradition, this unique programme offers the ideal platform for you to develop expertise in core areas of private law from a comparative perspective, and to benefit from research-led teaching from legal scholars who are recognised as experts in their field.

Through the comparative study of key areas of private law, as well as courses in legal theory and legal history, the programme provides you with the opportunity to obtain an advanced qualification that is both academically rigorous and professionally beneficial.

The programme is particularly suited to those who have studied a range of private law subjects at undergraduate level, although it is also open to those whose undergraduate law degree has combined other specialisations.
