Overview

Our LLM International Law is for students with a degree in any subject who are interested in studying global justice and developing skills needed for a career in areas such as international law, human rights or international development.

The LLM International Law provides you with an exciting opportunity to understand and apply the law to issues of global concern. The programme contains many opportunities to both understand the subject in depth and practise the skills required in the field of international law and development. It is an excellent stepping stone for those interested in careers in these fields and who wish to act as global citizens.

What's covered in this course?

The course covers issues of civil and political importance to individuals across the fields of human rights and the law’s response to conflict. You can choose from a range of options to tailor and design your Master’s degree and will have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge through multidisciplinary study in one option from our MA International Relations and Security Studies.

Why Choose Us?

You will learn from a dedicated and passionate teaching team, who have experience with international human rights institutions and a track record of research.

You don’t need a degree in Law to be eligible to study this course.

The course covers transnational jurisdictions, so it is international in scope.

You will have an opportunity to engage with the work of the Centre for Human Rights.

Employability

You will have the opportunity to undertake a placement as an alternative to a dissertation. In addition we have active, student-led Legal, Mooting and Debate Societies.

Our Student Mooting Society is one of the most successful in England, with our students reaching five finals in the past six years, regularly beating teams from some of the country’s most prestigious universities.
