Hiya
Swansea (I am a graduate of) has a very sound LLm programme in Commercial law- especially Arbitration and Litigation Class was great! I also heard from other students that IP courses, E-commerce course were brilliant and you can even get a combined Commercial and Maritime degree.

Thanks guys for the very helpful contributions.
In all of these, which of the mentioned institutions offer a better all round student experience, in terms of quality of teaching, student - tutor relationship, and all round value for money. I know London is a huge pull!
@ Arbitration, I will be very interested if you could add some flesh in your contribution please. Thanks once more.

Whilst pursuing a LLM at Swansea might be a solid choice, choosing one module each from Energy/ADR/Maritime as well as Finance Law certainly is not. (I am sure that such a selection would be prevented by the course design, anyhow. If not, that would be everything you need to know about the program.)
