International Legal Education
On February 28th, the School of Law hosted a lunchtime event designed to celebrate and explore our Internationalisation of Legal Education at Keele. The event drew on the perspectives of home and international law students and staff and students studying domestic and International Law at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The students reflected upon the enhancement of their understanding of law in a globalised era through their local outreach work with refugee communities in Stoke on Trent, and international experiences through undergraduate study abroad and the postgraduate exchange with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. Students also explored ways in which to take forward the newly constituted International Law Society.
Head of School, Dr Andrew Francis, said 'The School benefits a great deal in learning from the interchange of home and international students' learning experiences and the discussions in today's event were a great reminder of how legal studies can be enhanced by these international perspectives'
The event highlighted how an internationalised perspective can enhance the study of law in domestic, regional and international jurisdictions. Such internationalised learning can be explored within the Study Abroad opportunities available on the Dual Honours and Single Honours programmes at Keele, through the international law modules available at Levels 2 and 3, and through the opportunities that Keele students have to study Human Rights, Globalisation and Justice at Masters Level
