International Commercial and Competition Law LLM

**Overview**<br/><br/>Given that the number of countries with competition or antitrust laws increased from 31 to over 140 between 1985 and 2020, there is a growing need for legal specialists in this fascinating and ever-expanding area. In particular, there is a need for people to practice in law firms, enforce policy in competition authorities, and teach in universities. This course is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to meet that demand and go on to a successful career in the sector. <br/><br/>On this interdisciplinary course in International Commercial and Competition Law, you will examine the issues, concepts and principles that underpin the substantive law on competition control and policy. You will explore the economic, social and political forces that continue to shape competition law development and discover the role competition laws play within commercial relationships. You will also study how competition policy tackles new regulatory challenges in digital and globalised markets. <br/><br/>UEA Law School boasts several competition law specialists, all of whom are members of the Centre for Competition Policy (CCP), a leading interdisciplinary research Centre located at UEA. More information can be found on the CCP website and by following **@ccp_uea** on Twitter. <br/><br/>**About This Course**<br/><br/>Study at UEA Law School and you will be joining a School that excels in its dedication to offering intellectually diverse, varied and stimulating postgraduate courses, supported by a wide range of subjects or modules taught by leading experts.
