Summary
The LL.M. International Law programme offers students the opportunity to acquire and deepen specialist legal knowledge on selected issues in international law and policy. Alongside theoretical study, students will develop the practical skills and methodological expertise required to conduct legal research and attain an advanced understanding of legal theory. The research expertise of the staff in international law and international relations ensures that students benefit from a rich environment of research-informed teaching.
Students will engage with both foundational and advanced concepts of public international law, focusing on critical areas such as human rights, humanitarian law, and international criminal law. The programme’s multidisciplinary approach enables students to contextualise international law within broader issues of international relations and global security. Additionally, the programme provides scope for examining further perspectives from international relations, identifying key challenges, and exploring legal and policy responses within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Delivered over 1 year full-time or two years part-time, it is comprised in a core module ‘Studying Law: Advanced Skills and Theories’; a choice of four modules chosen from the following:
Semester 1 International Human Rights Law Public international Law
Semester 2 International Humanitarian Law International and Transnational Criminal law International Security
Students then complete a capstone dissertation in a negotiated subject of their choice, within the parameters of the award title.
