The Cambridge MCL is a nine-month taught master's programme commencing at the beginning of October each year and ending in June the following year.  It is designed for students wanting to pursue further legal studies after completing their first degree in law, catering in so doing both to those intending to practise in the area of corporate law and to those considering an academic career.  The MCL has been structured so as to combine academic rigour with a diverse and flexible curriculum, enabling each student to tailor their MCL course selection to their own specific requirements.
MCL students take a combination of full-year courses and one-term modules during the academic year.  All students take the compulsory full-year MCL-specific Deals course, which focuses on the legal and economic structuring of corporate transactions.  They also choose one full-year LLM paper from a selection of corporate papers on offer to MCL students (possible examples include Corporate Finance, Corporate Governance and International Financial Law).  In conjunction with the full-year papers, students take four one-term MCL-specific modules, usually two in the Michaelmas Term and two in the Lent Term.  The modules enable students to conduct a more detailed study of certain specialist areas of corporate law, such as shareholder litigation, international merger control and the law firm as business, than a general master's degree can offer.
