Introduction

The University of Greenwich and The Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA) jointly offer the LLM International & Commercial Law as a continuing professional education programme for professionals, senior management and executives through part-time studies.

The programme aims at assisting students to develop a systematic and in depth understanding of areas of international law and to provide with the skills necessary to analyse and evaluate complex legal problems and related issues. With the growing importance of world trade and the global community, business executives and legal professionals are expected to look beyond national jurisdictions and understand issues of international law and international commercial law. Enterprise and conglomerate employers now place a high premium on graduates with international commercial law knowledge. The LLM programme focuses on the law and legal framework governing the international community, as well as various legal issues surrounding international trade and global markets.

Upon completion, the students should be able to demonstrate the ability in evaluating critical current legal position, develop the capacity for independent thought, judgement and initiative, and to demonstrate the ability in presenting detailed knowledge of a complex agreement.
