Our LL.M. Programs Again in the Top 10 List by LL.M. Guide!

We are proud that once again (for the 8th time), the ILF is listed on LL.M. Guide as “Top 10 LL.M. Programs for Banking/Finance/ Securities Law”!  

We will continue to work hard on our goal of providing graduates with legal, business or economics backgrounds with top education and training so that they will have the requisite skills and expertise to succeed and excel in the professional world of international law and global finance!

LL.M. Programs

The ILF offers two specialised LL.M. Programs which will train you not only to deal with but also to excel in this increasingly important area where the worlds of international law and global finance meet.  

LL.M. Finance

The LL.M. Finance degree program will train you not only to deal with but also to excel in this increasingly important area where the worlds of international law and global finance meet. Up to about 50 students will be admitted in order to ensure academic excellence and direct, personal contact between students and the faculty. The LL.M. Finance program may be done part-time by completing the regular one-year program in 2 years.
