Course summary

Explore the legal issues and pertinent regulatory principles in trade relationships and the broad spectrum of related services.

At its core, international trade law concerns the regulation of the sale and transaction of goods. On our course, we ensure that you develop specialist knowledge of business and commercial law within the international context. You study topics including:

  • Financing international trade
  • Foreign direct investment
  • Legal analysis and writing
  • The sale contracts
  • The carriage contracts

At Essex we specialise in commercial law, public law, and human rights law. We are ranked 51st for Law in the World University Rankings 2021 and we are top 20 in the UK for research excellence (REF 2014, mainstream universities, THE 2014).

Our law course will develop your intellectual and critical faculties, encourage you to think independently and teach you to present rational, coherent, and accurate arguments orally and in writing. It will provide you with an excellent foundation for any career.

Your future

Our School of Law graduates have gone on to a wide variety of careers in international and intergovernmental organisations or employment with governments across the world, in commerce and banking, in non-governmental organisations and, as might be expected, in the legal profession and the judiciary.

During the year, we hold a careers session for our students in which we reflect upon our own careers and how they have been built as well as those from former students. We are always available to discuss career options and if you are interested in a particular area of the law, we can link you up with the relevant alumni to offer advice.

We also work with the university鈥檚 Employability and Careers Centre to help you find out about further work experience, internships, placements, and voluntary opportunities.
