Welcome Message
Welcome to International Corporate Law.

The principal legal vehicle for business in all developed economies is the limited
liability company. Therefore any study of international business law must include a
coherent and rigorous examination and analysis of
the legal framework of corporate law adopted in a range of relevant
jurisdictions;
the problems and issues faced by the law in this field;
the similarities and differences of the choices made and solutions instituted;
and
the aims, experiences and outcomes of the operation of company law in
those jurisdictions.
This module is intended to provide such an examination and analysis at
postgraduate level. It is designed to provide the opportunity to acquire a deep,
critical and coherent knowledge and understanding of aspects of substantive and
procedural law in this fundamental area of International Business Law and to
engage critically in research and investigation, leading to a wide and deep
understanding of corporate law.

The module will provide an opportunity to participate in learning activities that

emphasise active and participative education, through the use of methods leading
to independent, autonomous and self-reliant learning practices which will enable
students both to acquire and to construct knowledge and critical understanding of
international corporate law, which will lead to the acquisition and development of
transferable and marketable skills and knowledge for lifelong learning and
employment opportunities.

Learning Outcomes
1. Critically analyse the principal features of international corporate law,
including the major concepts, values, principles and rules, and the main
institutions and procedures in the UK, the USA and principal European states.
2. Critically analyse the historical origins, policy justifications and practical
outcomes of relevant substantive corporate legal rules, and apply economic,
political and ethical concepts and principles to the law.

3. Conduct independent research into comparative international corporate law,

corporate governance and insolvency law and present findings in an
articulate and critical fashion.
4. Apply the critical legal knowledge acquired or developed in an international
context and employ strategic transferable skills to demonstrate continuing
professional development and practice.
