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.
