International Commercial Law with Professional Practice

Drawing on expertise from the fields of economics and law, this distinct course is deeply interdisciplinary and uniquely informed.

Available as a one-year master's or a master's with professional practice (two years).
We are living through an unprecedented period of global economic uncertainty and the globalised economy requires business leaders to have a wide range of knowledge and skills relevant to international commercial law.
