The International Law LLB (Hons) course explores the role of law within a globalised society, whilst providing you with a foundational understanding of the law in England and Wales. In doing so, the course aims to prepare globally aware leaders in law.

The course aims to help you:

• acquire knowledge and understanding of legal doctrines, concepts, principles, rules and values in the core areas of law and the specialist areas of international law.
• develop an appreciation of the context in which law operates, and an understanding of the dynamic nature of law, its uncertainty, the need for reform and proposals for such reform.
• develop the ability to apply the legal knowledge and skills acquired to both the theory and practice of law within a domestic and global law context.

The January start for this course is condensed in Year 1. Please see the ‘How you’ll learn’ section below for more details.
