Course Description:

'' This course comprises a broadly-based programme designed to meet the needs of recent graduates wishing to obtain a higher qualification in this area, and those of people already in employment or practice wishing to further their own qualifications and career development. With exceptional locations in London, the University is a natural choice for those seeking an advanced qualification to develop relevant professional skills and understanding. Given the likely diversity of background and experience of students, the course offers core modules taken by all students, but also a range of option modules from which you make your own choices.

The course develops an understanding of the key principles of public international law, explores the impact of post-war social, political and legal developments in the fields of human rights, humanitarian law and international crime on the public international law framework, and develops an understanding of the processes of globalisation and their significance for international law.

The course is designed for both law and non-law graduates and for both legal and non-legal practitioners. For those with a legal background it represents an opportunity for continuing academic and professional development. It has also been designed to meet the needs of students and practitioners working within a range of social science disciplines including international security, diplomacy, international aid and development, European integration, international relations, and others for whom international law forms an essential element of their academic and practical working environment.br
