Course summary

Our International Law and Development LLM focuses on the difficulties that many developing states face in terms of economic growth, but also in relation to human rights, fighting poverty levels, and improving health and education standards. The impact of legal standards and international rules in helping developing states achieve their developmental aims has generated increasing interest from legal scholars and practitioners alike. This area has been given new impetus by the launch of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. You will develop an in-depth knowledge of these issues. With a wide variety of specialist modules, you can tailor your LLM to your interests and career goals. You will be taught be experts in their fields, many of whom contribute to policymaking at state and international levels. With an advanced law degree from the University of Nottingham, you will graduate with all the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to pursue your career goals.
