Fundamentals of International Trade & Transport Law - Course Overview
This part-time distance learning course provides a thorough theoretical and practical analysis of the various sources and principles of law that govern international trade and transport.
The worldwide sale and flow of goods is becoming ever more sophisticated in response to rapidly changing markets, and the role of law in this sphere is significant, and correspondingly complex.

- The mechanics of the international sale of goods and their transport
- Trade terms used in export sales
- Contracts, rights and liabilities of parties in international sales of goods
- Export finance and relevant legislation
- Documentation, law and practices involved in transporting goods
You will also improve your skills in recognising and analysing key legal issues, applying effective strategies and techniques to control the progress of negotiation and formation of a contract of sale, payment and transport.
