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.
The University’s Employability Framework is embedded throughout the course to help prepare you for your future career and the development of advanced academic and transferable skills is central to the course outcomes The LLM is distinctive in providing you with an intensive preparatory module on transferable skills that also supports your transition to Master’s level study. There is an emphasis on independent study and work-readiness. To support this, you can choose between a placement in a work setting or a dissertation in the third semester. The LLM International Law with Professional Placement offers a more intensive course for those who can commit to its longer duration, where you will undertake the dissertation followed by a longer placement thereafter.
**Professional Placement option**
This course offers an optional professional placement. This allows you to spend 20 weeks with an employer, following completion of your taught modules, and is a great way to enhance your employability.
The experience you gain through your placement will allow you to evidence your professional skills, attitudes and behaviours at the point of entry to the postgraduate job market.
If you choose the placement option, you will be responsible for finding and securing a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. You will be able to draw on the University’s extensive network of local, regional and national employers, and the support of our Careers teams. If you do not secure a suitable placement, you will automatically be transferred back to the standard, non-placement version of the course.
Please note: Placements will only be confirmed following a competitive, employer-led selection process. As such, the University will not be able to guarantee placements for students who have registered for the professional placement option.

Summary
The LLM International Law analyses the how international law operates within the key areas of international human rights and international business law.
The end of the Second World War has witnessed not only the creation of numerous international organisations, but also an increased level of global interconnection and the creation of common standards in many areas. International Law has become an important area of study because of the role it plays in regulating the relationships between states and how different states shapes their laws and legal systems.
Therefore, the knowledge and understanding of the legal aspects of international law and how international law operates in the areas of international business and international human rights law is an important attribute that is highly regarded by prospective employers such as academic institutions, non-governmental organisations and charities, policy and research organisations, and international organisations.
