International Law - LLM

In today’s globalised world, legal problems frequently span countries and involve regional and international treaties and laws. This not only affects the behaviour of states and intergovernmental institutions, but is also essential to transnational corporations, charities, aid agencies, and individuals, including migrants, refugees or the victims of human rights violations. The International Law LLM is designed to familiarise you with how the global legal system works – the rules, theories, institutions and processes – developing the knowledge and skills to negotiate complex issues of transnational law whether you choose to work in the public, private or third sector.
