The current laws in Britain are based on English common law, and they are also used by countries all over the world to establish the foundation of legal system, including most Commonwealth countries in Asia and Africa, as well as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. British law is not only the basis of legal systems in many countries, but also the legal practitioners in Britain are considered to be the best in the world. Britain's position in world politics, European politics and global finance makes the British legal profession occupy a prominent position in the world.
The British legal profession also has a high reputation in the world, and its teaching strength is first-class. The law majors of many top universities in the world, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, UCL, SOAS, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Bristol, Liverpool, Sheffield and Southampton, have a high reputation in the industry. Among them, the law courses offered by the School of Asian and African Studies of University of London are the most comprehensive in Britain, with 150 courses for students to choose from throughout the year.
The changes of trade forms and political relations around the world make the legal practice and application show a rapid expansion momentum. Countries have reached agreements in various aspects, such as trade and tariffs, airline compensation and climate change, all of which require a lot of negotiation and legislative activities. Studying law courses in Britain can give students the opportunity to learn various departmental laws. Most undergraduates majoring in law choose international commercial law or international trade law when they go to Britain. First, the criminal law and constitutional system in Europe are very different from those in China, so China students can't directly apply for a master's degree in this major. The second reason is that China's rapid economic growth and the occurrence of a large number of international trade have made this kind of major one of the hottest.
