Company Law 2 (M6004)

15 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

The module covers aspects of company law.

Areas examined include:

• the protection of minority shareholders
• corporate governance, particularly in large companies, including takeovers.

The module also looks at new developments in company law such as stakeholders and corporate social responsibility. You'll also develop an understanding of the economic and political context of law.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
