    About

    Overview

    At a critical time in history, our LLM in International Law provides you with an exciting opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the role of public international law. There is a growing demand for expert lawyers with the skills and knowledge to embrace the challenges of the increasingly complex relations between states.

    Our LLM programmes are well-respected by leading law firms. This programme explores the pressures that arise from particular areas of international law and international policy, and the role of law in setting the framework for decision-making and as a tool for achieving policy goals. The programme also covers issues with private international law through specialist units in International Commercial Litigation, Arbitration and a range of commercial law units.

    Choosing the LLM in International Law will see you challenged and inspired by world-leading academics dedicated to progressive and innovative thinking on a wide range of related issues as members of the Law School's Centre for International Law.

    The intellectually demanding, research-rich curriculum allows you to demonstrate excellent legal, analytical and research skills and be empowered to pursue top-flight careers as solicitors, barristers, lawyers and researchers in international and European organisations.
