The post-Cold War world has been rocked by events such as the War on Terror, the recent conflict in Iraq and the humanitarian crises in regions like Darfur. Globalisation and international trade also play their part. Laws between states are as important today as are laws within states.

This programme will enable you to gain a deeper and more profound understanding of this exciting and still developing area, through looking more closely at some of the areas of current controversy.

Given the fluid nature of international law, students seeking to specialise in this area will benefit from many opportunities to engage in and debate the key controversies of this subject in groups and seminar discussions. During the programme you will have the chance to understand, examine and apply fundamental concepts of international law from both theoretical and political perspectives.

You will also learn more about the international system itself and global dispute resolution.

You will take eight optional modules, at least four of which must be chosen from the International Law module list below. You may choose to study up to four modules from other subject areas within the Law postgraduate portfolio (see the list under the LLM Law information). Some modules may not be offered if numbers are too low. In addition, students taking the LLM programme will complete a dissertation in a topic related to international law. You will discuss the nature and scope of your topic with your tutors during your time at the University.
