The International Business Law module provides students with an advanced knowledge of international comercial law. This module is designed to help students acquire a profound understanding of the legal challenges faced by business when operating around the world and obtain core skills when advising corporate entities. The International Business Law module will aid both those who make business decisions and those who advise others on business decisions by analysing the globalisation of law, the different legal systems existing around the world, and how the multiple and sometimes conflicting national laws may affect the substance and application of those laws.
Within the International Business Law module, we will apply the general principles of international commercial law and enhance the judgment students will bring to the responsibilities as entrepreneurs, managers, and consultants. We will apply principles of contract law, company law, employment and consumer law for business, competition law, aspects of international business dispute resolution, and international trade law while resolving case studies addressing the commercial law problems arising in different businesses. This module will analyse rules governing international commercial transactions, inter alia, determining the jurisdiction and applicable law. The module will examine a variety of treaties, international agreements that may affect the application and enforcement of international transactions, as well as the role and functions currently developed by various international organisations with the purpose of promoting the harmonisation of laws and the promotion of economic development around the globe. The module will address the regulatory risks, and the role of international business law as gatekeepers to identify and mitigate these risks.
