Master of Laws LLM

Introduction

The LLM at UCLan Cyprus will enable students to focus on a range of very different subjects of use in their professional careers but also specialise in a range of exciting fields of law for those preferring a narrower focus. By introducing new, special option modules, five areas of concentration have been developed in the fields of:

> International Energy Law

>European Union Law

>Law and International Security

>International Commercial Law and Dispute Resolution

> Financial and Corporate Law

The LLM Master of Laws is available to students with a legal and non-legal background. Seminars are delivered during the late afternoon and evening to facilitate both working professionals and recent graduates. Emphasis is placed on private study and research, assisted by the University’s outstanding law resources and databases as directed by tutors. Therefore, class contact time is limited reflective of a desire to offer a world-class course of interest to the talented, serious and dedicated student, whilst providing the necessary flexibility for anyone juggling other professional and personal commitments.

The School benefits from collaborations for certification and/or professional recognition for short courses or specialised modules, leading to academic or professional credits:

  • The LLM module in International Commercial Mediation leads to the professional qualification of mediator recognised by the UK Civil Mediation Council and the International Mediation Institute (through the course provider) and the Ministry of Justice and Public Order of the Republic of Cyprus, subject to applicable requirement.

      
  • The LLM module International Commercial Arbitration is yet another specialised module recognised professionally by the UK Chartered Institute of Arbitrators at Associate level, allowing successful participants to use the post-nominal letters ACIArb.

  • UCLan Cyprus is a CISI University Partner. Specific LLM modules lay the ground for certification by the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments (CISI)

CAREER

Career Opportunities

The different areas of concentration and module offering could not be more relevant to the increasingly globalised and transnational marketplace. Past UCLan graduates have gained or developed careers in diverse legal, professional, commercial and regulatory fields.
The School of Law organises various extra-curricular activities for all students including postgraduate students such as the Annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (Vienna), the Model United Nations events, as well as multiple networking activities, which have proved to be of great benefit to the students in gaining significant knowledge and understanding of the practical implications of the law. Professional activities are also available to postgraduate students who are active professionals, such as short courses in Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing as well as in Dispute Resolution Methods (arbitration, mediation) for purposes of continuous professional development (CPD).
Moreover, all students also have access to the social enterprise vehicle called ICLAIM (Interdisciplinary Centre for Law, Alternative and Innovative Methods) created by academics of the School of Law so that they can develop their practical and entrepreneurship skills and projects in collaboration with the industry.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Programme Modules

Compulsory

Module Code:

LA4605 (L7)

Credit Value:

20 UK CREDITS / 10 ECTS

Module Aims:
  • The module aims to explore the role and regulation of arbitration as a method of dispute resolution, adopting a comparative approach and highlighting contrasting approaches to regulation. Students will obtain a thorough understanding of the role and significance of private institutions, national laws and international instruments in providing a framework for arbitration. A particular focus is examination of the ways in which arbitration remains embedded in national legal systems, and a critical assessment of its potential as a ‘supra-national’ system of dispute resolution. Students will be encouraged to undertake a critical comparison of contrasting national and institutional rules and to consider whether the 1958 New York Convention is still fit for purpose. In the national law context, the principal comparisons will be between English law and the UNCITRAL Model Law. At the institutional level, comparison will be made of contrasting provisions selected from the rules of the principal arbitral institutions (e.g. ICC, LCIA).Successful completion of this module can also provide a stepping stone for students to become involved in international alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This module is recognised by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, therefore students who successfully complete this module will be eligible to apply to become Associates of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, allowing them to use the post-nominal letters ACIArb.This module cannot be taken by students who have studied, or are studying, LA4926 Private International Law in Business.

Module Code:

LA4607 (L7)

Credit Value:

20 UK CREDITS / 10 ECTS

Module Aims:
  • This module will focus on contracts for the international sale of goods governed by the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and explore the different issues concerning and/or arising under such contracts under the CISG and English sales law using a comparative perspective. This module primarily aims to familiarize students with the CISG, in order to enable them to competently apply the relevant legal rules to a number of possible disputes arising under an international sale contract governed by this Convention.

Module Code:

LA4608 (L7)

Credit Value:

20 UK CREDITS / 10 ECTS

Module Aims:
  • The module is designed to offer comparative analysis of both the law and practice of mediation at national (e.g. United Kingdom, Mauritius, USA), regional (e.g. European Union, African Union), transnational and international levels. It aims to explore the theoretical, practical and ethical problems relating to international commercial mediation. Sessions concentrate on practical mediation exercises in an international commercial context covering the entire procedure, from advising the client on the use of mediation, through the actual procedure itself, through to drafting settlement agreements. Students will develop a systematic understanding of the role of the mediator in national, regional and international commercial disputes and will focus on the necessary skills and techniques of a successful mediation through role play exercises. Successful completion of this module can also provide a stepping stone for students to become involved in international alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Students who successfully complete this module will gain accredited mediator status as this module is approved by the Civil Mediation Council, the recognised authority in the United Kingdom for civil and commercial mediation.

Module Code:

LA4929 (L7)

Credit Value:

20 UK CREDITS / 10 ECTS

Module Aims:
  • The module aims to give students a thorough understanding of the transnational issues that arise in court based dispute settlement – with a particular emphasis on litigation in Europe. Different approaches to civil procedure and the allocation of jurisdiction within Europe have historically inhibited judicial co-operation in cross-border disputes. EU legislation has been introduced with a view to resolving these differences and ensuring the “free movement of judgments”. After introducing the fundamental concepts and relevant international and European instruments, the seminars will encourage students to analyse the strategies adopted by litigants, and to critique the process of harmonisation in Europe. Students will obtain a thorough understanding of both national and EU rules, and will at the same time gain an appreciation of the differences in legal culture that continue to frustrate harmonisation.This module cannot be taken by students who have studied, or are studying, LA4926 Private International Law in Business.

Student Stories

School of Law

The reason I chose to do my LLM at UCLan University, is because the LLM programme provides a variety of modules that a student can select according to their interest and that the programme runs for just a “year” (which is time effective, for those who want to finalize their studies in as short period of time). Moreover, I like the security both at School and Accommodation.

UCLan Cyprus has taught me the importance of knowing the theory and also combining it with practical experiences. I am very pleased with the professors we had. Besides the academic professors, we also had lecturers that were working in the particular field. Obviously, not everything is textbook. I actually found a job while I was doing my Master’s degree at UCLan Cyprus and then I was offered a full time position after my graduation. The combination of academia and practical networking experiences that I have acquired at UCLan Cyprus have provided me with a great start to my career.

The experience and knowledge that I have gained during my studies at the LLM programme of UCLan Cyprus, have majorly contributed to the development of my professional career. During the time of me undergoing the LLM program, I was working in the public sector, specifically Cyprus Ministry of Justice and Public Order. In 2018, I made a decision to leave the public sector and open my own Law Firm, in Larnaca Cyprus. This decision was driven by various factors, primarily my aspiration to succeed in the legal sphere and be a private business owner. All in all, I am very grateful for all the supervision I received from the professors of UCLan Cyprus during my studies. I do strongly believe that the knowledge and skills that I have gained strongly contributed to the lawyer and private business owner that I am today.

I had the opportunity to study a semester at the School of Law of UCLan Cyprus as an ERASMUS student from Riga, Latvia. During my stay I took courses in relation to commercial, shipping and maritime law which is my particular field of interest, and I am highly satisfied with my choice to study here. The University facilities were highly modern and had all the necessary means required for a law student, with the library and databases providing the required materials to conduct advanced legal research. I particularly enjoyed the extracurricular activities such as the Model United Nations, International Court of Justice Moot as well as the guest speakers and seminars that were provided by the School and University. The overall environment at the University was wonderful and very friendly, where it was possible to meet people from all over the world, which made it all even more exciting. After finishing with my studies I had the chance and opportunity assisted by the School of Law to secure a 2 month internship and work experience in a reputable law firm as well as in one of the leading shipping companies on the Island.
