The LLM in International Business and Commercial Law programme is designed to equip graduates with a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks that govern international business and commerce. This programme prepares students to become key contributors to both the Ghanaian and global commercial landscapes. It also fosters a deep appreciation of the legal structures underpinning business and commerce within regional economic blocs such as ECOWAS and the African Union.
