LLM International Law with Professional Placement (21 Months)

The LLM in International Law is designed for graduates from any academic background who want to explore issues of global justice and gain the abilities needed for roles connected to international law, human rights, or global development. This programme gives you the chance to study how legal principles operate in an international context and how they can be applied to major challenges facing the global community. It allows you to dive deeply into the subject while also practising the practical skills expected in international legal and development work, making it a strong pathway for those who want to contribute meaningfully on a global stage.

The curriculum addresses major civil and political questions, including human rights protection and legal responses to conflict. You can personalise your degree through a range of optional modules, including the chance to broaden your perspective with a multidisciplinary choice from the MA International Relations and Security Studies. Employability is woven throughout the programme, helping you build both advanced academic abilities and transferable skills that support your career progression. A preparatory skills module helps you transition smoothly into master’s-level study, with a focus on independent learning and professional readiness. In the final stage of the course, you may choose either a work placement or a dissertation. For those selecting the extended route, the LLM International Law with Professional Placement includes additional time for a comprehensive placement following the dissertation.
