Research-led teaching
The School of Law is home to the Nottingham International Law and Security Centre (NILSC), directed by Professor Dino Kritsiotis. Our experts develop thinking around many of the challenges facing society today, including climate change, food security, terrorism, military and maritime security, cyber-security and global economic crises.
NILSC’s research and activities underpin our teaching and offer a range of opportunities for you to participate in our activities, from voluntary placements to paid summer internships. These experiences are designed to broaden your understanding of international law research and practical work.
NILSC’s Annual Lecture Series attracts world leading academics and practitioners, including Professor Naz K Modirzadeh (Harvard Law School) and Professor Gerard Quinn (the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities).
The School of Law is also proud to host the International Law Association seminar series, which features numerous distinguished international law experts from around the world each year.
