LLM International Trade Law• This specialist course in business and commercial law enables you to analyse cutting-edge and topical issues, while improving your knowledge and writing skills. Focusing on the international dimension, you explore the legal issues and pertinent regulatory principles in the trade transaction and the broad spectrum of related services. We encourage you to tailor this course to suit your own interests by giving you options with the modules you take, the questions you attempt and your dissertation topic. LLM Internet Law• This LLM should interest well-qualified students from all over the world with relevant industry and regulatory experience. Our unique mix of modules provide you with an opportunity to experience the entire range of ‘converged’ legal skills for the digital information environment of the twenty-first century. Small class sizes ensure excellent staff-student research interaction and our staff are a unique international team of comparative lawyers, with our professors forming the core of EXCCEL: Essex Centre for Comparative and European Law. Our EXCCEL seminar series means you can hear from a range of external speakers from academia and regulation. Our LLM Internet Law examines the convergence of communications media which has raised legal problems about access to, and use of, telecommunications networks, the Internet and broadcast media. Your first term core module identifies the regulatory and private law framework within which the communication and information technology industries operate, and you write your dissertation on a topic of your choice within the field of information technology, media and e-commerce. LLM UK Human Rights and Public Law• Public law and domestic human rights law are currently two of the most dynamic areas of law. The Human Rights Act (1998), the growth in judicial review and the expansion of regulatory systems constitutional reforms present many new challenges and opportunities for lawyers and courts. Our course will be particularly attractive if you are in the UK but should also appeal if you are from the Commonwealth or other common law jurisdictions, or from other member states of the EU. While our primary focus is UK law, opportunities exist for you to pursue modules in comparative law and international protection of human rights. At a time when the UK is undergoing immense constitutional change with respect to human rights and devolution, and when judicial review of government action is resorted to with increasing regularity, our LLM UK Human Rights and Public Law provides you with essential in depth coverage taught by academics who are leading scholars in this field. Postgraduate Diplomas We do not admit students on to diplomas but they are sometimes awarded, based on a student’s performance on their LLM. Research study We have an international reputation for excellence in research and teaching, and our academics are at the cutting edge of scholarship. We build on our areas of success to foster an environment conducive to the highest quality research founded in legal theory and practice including socio-legal studies. Our research students are encouraged to play a participative role in our activities, which include seminars at which speakers from home and abroad present ideas. About our research degrees We offer research degrees, either PhD or MPhil, in most fields of law. You are initially admitted to read for an MPhil and, subject to satisfactory progress, transferred to our PhD track during your second year. Postgraduate Prospectus 2012 | 147
