The LLM in Corporate Governance at — University of — gives you the legal, ethical and theoretical insight to challenge corporate power and shape better business practices. Taught by specialists in corporate governance and corporate social responsibility, this master’s course explores key theories about the nature of corporations, the drivers of governance reform, and the evolving role of business in society. You’ll examine corporate accountability, boardroom dynamics and stakeholder engagement across national, European and global legal frameworks. You’ll also assess how corporate governance standards are converging around the world, and where reform is most needed. Your learning will be shaped by academics with active research links to global institutions like the United Nations and World Trade Organization, bringing international perspectives and real-world relevance into every seminar. You’ll have the opportunity to specialise your studies through a wide range of optional course units, including: - international trade and corporate law; - financial services regulation; - European law; - international economic law. To support your research, you’ll attend weekly legal research and methodology workshops across both semesters, designed to sharpen your academic writing, critical analysis and research skills. Throughout the course, you’ll develop advanced skills in legal reasoning, critical analysis, research design and persuasive argumentation, preparing you for careers in corporate law, regulatory compliance, in-house legal teams, international organisations and more. You’ll graduate with the knowledge and credibility to operate across borders, advise on high-stakes legal matters, and shape governance from within.
