University of the West of England's LLM courses are designed to encourage critical analysis of relevant legal issues with a breadth of knowledge that will make students stand out as a specialist in their chosen area of law.

Part of the University of the West of England's comprehensive range of postgraduate LLM programmes, the LLM in Commercial Law offers students a specialist pathway for in-depth study in law relating to business.

Designed to give students a broad, contextual and critical understanding of the area of commercial law, the course covers the operation of judicial, legislative and administrative action in relevant domestic, European and international contexts. Students will be working at the leading edge of scholarship in this field, giving them an advantage when seeking employment either in legal practice or the commercial world.

Pursuing an LLM enables students to focus in on a particular area of law by delving deep into the subject and undertaking independent research and learning. The modules available on the LLMs cover a diverse range of legal topics, making it possible to tailor the course towards the specific areas of law students wish to pursue further.

The School has a thriving research culture and most members of staff who teach on their LLMs are active researchers, publishing in leading journals. At the same time, the high quality of teaching in the Department has been recognised by the Quality Assurance Agency, which awarded the Law School an 'excellent' rating. Students can therefore expect to participate in carefully-planned, lively and highly informative sessions designed to give them a deep and thorough grounding in their chosen area of law.
