University of Law- LLM Corporate Governance (CG accredited)

University of Law is one of the UK's longest-established specialist providers of legal education. It can be back to 1876 with the formation of tutorial firm Gibson & Weldon, and in 2016, they opened their leading Business School. With a rich heritage and a reputation for innovation and contemporary teaching practices, they focus on developing the best legal and business minds.

This course has been designed to discuss in detail the types of rules, policies and controls determining the actions and behaviour of a corporation. During the programme you will discover models of corporate governance, classification of systems and the impact of the global financial crisis. You will also examine the roles of particular individuals involved in business including the company secretary, the board of directors, as well as the relationship between the board and its shareholders, disclosure and accountability to provide you with insight into the mechanics of corporate operation.

This programme taught by experienced practitioners will focus on analyzing real-life examples to put your knowledge in the right context of corporate governance.

Apart from traditional modules, this programme offers a two-week long induction to the programme that discusses the Key Principles of the English Legal System. As much as this is a compulsory step for non-law students, it can serve as a refresher of fundamentals of law to all interested students especially ones who took a break from legal education.

In preparation to the concluding element of this programme, which is the dissertation, you will study a range of compulsory and further optional Research Methods Training sessions in your first terms.

This means that graduates are  eligible for GradCG membership.
