Course summary

Discover a truly unique educational experience with our Law and International Relations LLB, focused on the symbiotic relationship between law and global affairs. These two disciplines aim to understand the theory, concepts and rules of law and state power in the ever more entangled ecology of international law, organisations, politics, and relations. This course will provide you with a high-quality legal education. You will acquire an advanced understanding of the way global movements and events—from migration and refugee movements, environmental degradation and protection, weapons and impacts of war and conflict to financial and capital flows—shape how law is thought of, created, and used. You’ll be jointly taught by experts from law and international relations. This interdisciplinary approach gives you the unique opportunity to achieve a qualifying law degree with a strong international dimension. This will equip you with a diverse skill set, adaptability, and global perspective, preparing you for a wide range of professional opportunities across sectors including legal practice, diplomacy, advocacy, human rights, international business and trade, government and policy analysis as well as journalism and media. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with the broader community through relevant work placements and field visits. Other opportunities to enhance your CV include the option to study an additional language as part of your studies or undertake a period of studying abroad with one of our prestigious international partners. These opportunities will not only help you to gain valuable work experience and insights, but also empower you to make a positive impact on essential community services. This course is your first step in your journey towards a career with a meaningful global impact.
