OVERVIEW
Our LLM programmes are designed to equip you with the
in-depth knowledge and key skills you need. The modules have
been designed to reflect and take into account practical issues
as they arise in practice.
Our team is led by and composed of individuals who have
combined practice and academic work. The team includes a mix
of senior barristers, solicitors, judges, in-house counsel, former
government lawyers, compliance specialists, investigators and
those involved in law enforcement, as well as counsel for
inter-governmental organisations and agencies. The team all
have high academic credentials — all have a doctorate (some
have several), specialised Masters degrees and other relevant
postgraduate training. They have written widely in their areas
and are experts — many with international standing.
The LLMs offer a wide range of subject choice, including
some highly specialist areas, such as Fraud and Financial Crime,
Financial Regulation and Compliance, Islamic Finance Law,
Chinese Business Law, Comparative Commercial Law, Advanced
Corporate Law, International and Comparative Corporate
Securities Law. The spectrum of subjects will open doors to
careers in the legal profession, as well as the global financial
services and banking industries. Visit bpp.com/postgraduate for
