Gain an in-depth understanding of international legal responses to contemporary global challenges within an international learning environment. Study topics such as international law, human rights law, the global architecture of crisis, conflict and disaster management, refugee law, law of armed conflict, and the use of military force. You’ll have the opportunity to be awarded an LLM in International Law or to specialise by choosing one of three pathways.

A postgraduate law degree can open doors to a wide range of employment areas, such as law firms and European and intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), as well as academia (with further postgraduate study), journalism and broadcasting, the civil service and other branches of public service.

Graduates from our LLM programmes have gone on to work for a range of national and international law firms, as lawyers and inhouse legal counsels for large multinational companies in the UK and abroad, as well as international organisations and NGOs.
