MS in Law and International Management
The City Law School is to work with the ESCP-EAP European School of Management to deliver part of the MS in Law and International Management to students from the Paris-based institution.
The MS in Law and International Management is a programme designed specifically for lawyers who want to learn how to interact with management in a more strategic way. The well-established programme is supported by an advisory committee made up of practising lawyers in private practice and in-house heads of legal departments.
Students on the ESCP-EAP MS in Law and International Management will spend one month in London at The City Law School, where they will gain an insight into English law as part of their course. Those who pass their assessments at The City Law School at the end of the month will receive a certificate from The City Law School and will be able to apply, following graduation, for one of The City Law School's LLM programmes.
