LLM
Summary
From armed conflict to climate change, many of today's most pressing challenges demand international solutions. Our LLM Public International Law gives you a thorough understanding of how international law is created, interpreted and applied to address issues that transcend national borders.
You will study key areas including international human rights law, international humanitarian law, international security and the use of force, environmental and climate change law, international investment law and international dispute resolution.
You’ll explore the foundation of public international law and have the flexibility to shape your studies around your own academic interests and professional goals. Our wide range of optional course units enables you to build specialist knowledge of issues affecting states, organisations and individuals worldwide.
You will learn through innovative and research-led teaching, including problem-based learning, interactive seminars and discussion-based classes. These student-centred approaches encourage you to engage with complex, real-world legal questions, and help you develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Our course pairs advanced academic study with hands-on legal practice. Through our Justice Hub Legal Advice Centre and our specialist moot courtroom, you can put legal knowledge to work on real issues while sharpening the reasoning, advocacy and research skills that set you apart.
Throughout your studies, you will strengthen your legal analysis, research, problem-solving and communication skills while completing an independent dissertation. Our unique blend of academic rigour and flexibility makes the course ideal whether you aim to practise law, move into policy or continue into doctoral research.
You will graduate as part of one of Europe's leading law schools, ready to critique, design and apply the legal tools that underpin international economic activity.
Join our diverse, inclusive and inspiring global student community.
