Assessment
The taught modules are either assessed by a three-hour unseen written examination or 4,500-word coursework assignment.
For both blended (face to face) and online study modes, attendance at one of our UK campuses (or an approved overseas centre by prior arrangement) is required for examinations. The default campus location for online study is London.
The dissertation module will be assessed by the submission of a thesis (15,000 words). The dissertation provides an opportunity for a sustained, in-depth and intensive investigation into, and reflection upon, a specialist area of Corporate Governance.
Upon successful completion, and in addition to your LLM, you will be eligible for Grad ICSA membership. Once you have gained enough relevant work experience, you will be able to apply to become a full chartered member of ICSA.
Delivery
The course is delivered through full-time attendance at our Bristol, Leeds, London Moorgate, Manchester or Nottingham campus over one year, divided into three terms. There is an induction at the beginning of the course which will be held at the Bristol, Leeds, London Moorgate, Manchester or Nottingham campus.
Each taught module is delivered over ten teaching weeks, with two-hour workshops each week. All preparatory material, including any lecture content, is provided on the VLE, as is all consolidation material.
The dissertation is undertaken in Term 3. All taught modules must have been completed before students begin their dissertation.
