Course description

The LLM International Commercial Law course provides an overview of the main commercial law issues that practitioners could expect to encounter on a regular basis. The course is unique in Central Asia in terms of providing students with an opportunity to study commercial law in accordance with international standards.

The LLM International Commercial Law course is a uniquely invigorating programme, balancing the best of a rigorous, traditional legal education with a contemporary perspective. The areas of specialisation address today’s most important business and legal challenges, including the study of evolving commercial relationships in the international arena, the role and impact of electronic commerce, the resolution of commercial disputes, and the gradual harmonisation of international commercial law. You will have the opportunity to explore your own ideas, gain knowledge, and develop transferable skills in a supportive environment.

How you will study

The learning on this course is a partnership between the student, their peers and the teaching team. It is a mix of timetabled activity and student’s own personal study. “Scheduled Contact/Activity Time” (i.e. “Contact Hours”) involves interaction with, or supervision from, teaching and associated staff and the activities they set up for students. It may be face-to-face or mediated through other channels such as the Intranet.

Alongside the scheduled studies, students’ “independent” study is a key learning skill for academic study and future employability. As part of the course, you will be expected to work independently in various forms such as group collaborative tasks, research, reading, revision, assessment preparation, projects that feed into presentation and debates. You will be encouraged, guided and supported towards developing skills as an independent critically aware learner. You should expect each module to have both specified contact hours and independent learning.

To summarise, very broadly, a student’s study activity will break down into:

  • Scheduled contact/activity time (lectures, seminars, tutorials, supervisions and other directed activities); and
  • Structured independent study (such as preparing for scheduled learning activity).
