International Commercial and Corporate Law Lancaster University

Overview

Throughout the  International Commercial and Corporate Law  course from Lancaster University  you’ll complete our ‘Corporations in International Business Law’ module. This covers the international perspective on business law and its impact on corporations, as well as looking at the globalised economy. You will also examine the strengths and weaknesses of UK corporate law.

Although international business and corporate law will be your focus, you’ll have the flexibility to focus on your particular interests by choosing from a wide range of optional modules. Many students specialising in this area look at law makers and regulators in the international business environment, while others explore environmental issues or intellectual property law and its relationship with international law.

In our ‘Research Methods in Law’ module, we’ll provide an insight into the different methods used, as well as design and ethics. This will prepare you to carry out your dissertation in an area that interests you. Past students have investigated diverse topics from the interaction between human rights and businesses to problems surrounding insolvency law.

Careers

By combining core and elective modules, you’ll graduate with a keen insight into a wide range of globally and commercially significant issues while also being able to show employers you have specialist expertise.

You might decide to take the next step in your career. Or perhaps you’ll contribute to important legal research to help move forward understanding in international business and corporate law.
