Employability Initiatives
One of our most important goals is to enhance our students’ employability prospects, and prepare them for the next stage of their professional lives. We offer our students numerous opportunities to make sure they have the best possible chance. For example: * Our (optional) module on Employability Skills in the Commercial and Maritime Industry. This gives you the practical guidance in written and oral communication skills that you will need for a successful career after your LLM. Students on this module are introduced to the world of job applications, and are taught what they might need to help them to grow and move forward with their career path, including how to recognise and make the most of experience, learning, and knowledge, and how to promote themselves effectively, including ways of qualifying as a practising lawyer. * Our guest lectures, delivered at regular intervals throughout the course by distinguished visiting scholars and practitioners. These offer our students an unique insight into practice, as well as sharing industry expertise and guidance for career success. * Our commercial law mooting programme. This aims at developing our LLM students’ vital transferable skills by allowing them to apply, practically, the subjects they learn during the course. Our mooting competitions have been hosted by such organisations as the UK Supreme Court and international law firms such as HFW.
