The Cambridge MCL is a nine‑month taught master’s focused on advanced corporate law. All students take the compulsory full‑year MCL‑specific Deals course on the legal and economic structuring of corporate transactions, choose one full‑year LLM paper from selected corporate options (e.g., Corporate Finance, Corporate Governance, International Financial Law), and take four one‑term MCL‑specific modules (typically two in Michaelmas and two in Lent) to study specialist areas such as shareholder litigation, international merger control, and the law firm as business. The programme targets graduates with prior law study aiming for corporate practice or academic careers, combining academic rigour with a flexible curriculum to tailor individual interests . Note: The University’s course page currently states the Corporate Law course is not accepting new applications; applicants should check the latest cycle status .
