Course summary

A master's degree in law is a fantastic way for law graduates to develop a specialisation or for non-lawyers working in related fields to gain a deeper understanding of legal issues. This LLM pathway combines specialist study of international law, with valuable practical training in advocacy, legal practice, and litigation skills. You'll be taught fundamental topics in international law at the cutting edge of current research, while simultaneously developing the necessary legal skills to apply your knowledge in a clinical context. You'll also have the chance to diversify your training through extensive module options.You'll study two core taught modules before choosing a further two optional topics from our extensive list of LLM modules. The core modules combine practical training in legal practice, with a strong foundation in contemporary international law so you'll develop a well-rounded understanding of the theory and its application.Our course is also unique in its combination of both domestic and international law, giving you a deeper understanding of both aspects of the law by learning about their relationship to each other.All our LLM courses are taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops. We extensively use problem-based learning, class discussion and case studies to ensure our teaching is brought to life, while all our lectures are issued as podcasts to give you greater access to learning resources and allow you to revisit specific classes.Studying an LLM in international law will open up a variety of employment opportunities across the private sector, in international organisations like the UN, WTO, or World Bank, and in government or the courts.This pathway contains a strong amount of clinical training, as well as teaching in both domestic and international law to give you a multi-faceted education that will be highly attractive to employers in an increasingly competitive field.The course also allows you to undertake a work-based project so you can gain practical experience and build professional links, while our renowned Legal Advice Centre enables you to work on real legal cases with local people to enhance your clinical skills while you study.
