Overview of the LLM in International Justice

The LLM programme in International Justice provides students with critical insights into the field of international justice. It focuses, in particular, on issues of human rights, equality, and social inclusion in the context of international law. It provides insights into how the international legal order works, and how it seeks to protect vulnerable groups, including minorities, migrants, and people with disabilities.

This programme critiques the applicable legal regimes and illustrates how these systems operate in practice. Teaching is delivered by means of small class lectures, in-class simulations, workshops, and master classes. In addition to the modules, The School works with leading academics and practitioners who provide seminars in various fields of law.

We partner with leading international law firms on several initiatives. We also offer students the opportunity to apply for our Postgraduate Placement module, providing successful applicants the chance to work part-time for one semester at one of our partner organisations, spanning various sectors including public and private.
