So, I have been looking at the LSE international law programme a lot recently and I have been getting more frustrated by the minute. Why separate international business and public law? I understand the distinction between the two--one is entirely related to commerce and the other to sovereignty and citizenries--however, I don't see why the two cannot culminate in a study deemed "International Law" or "International Commerce, Market, and Public Law." Naturally, when you study international law, you're studying both the individual, the institutions (nations, governs, etc), and the commerce between nations. Why not allow a study of this sort with the others? I am heart-set on LSE, but it's tearing my heart apart. I can't distinguish business law from public law or vica versa in my passions. Advice?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can take any combination of subjects you want. So if you want to mix public law modules with international business modules, its your prerogative, I'm pretty sure LSE won't stop you. The worst that can happen is that your LLM scroll won't have a specialization title like LLM in international business law or something, but I don't think that's anything to lose sleep about. Lots of Schools grant general LLMs including Cambridge and Oxford.
