LS5909: PROFESSIONAL SKILLS: INTERNATIONAL TRADE NEGOTIATION (2016-2017)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

The first of its kind, the LLM in International Trade Law (with Professional Skills: International Trade Negotiation) programme at the University of Aberdeen blends delivery of advanced level teaching with training in the practical skills necessary to negotiate international trade agreements. This enables our graduates to position themselves for employment in this burgeoning field. Our emphasis on the skills element differentiates our programme from more traditional programmes delivered by other institutions. The opportunity to negotiate 'mock' international trade agreements with India and China offers our students an exciting setting to apply the technical legal knowledge that they have acquired during the programme in a highly practical setting, something that is always of interest to students and employers alike. This programme will be of particular interest to those who wish to seek employment in the fields of international trade law and/or the negotiation of international trade agreements.
