Course summary
The foundation year of this Coventry University degree will be delivered from our CU Coventry campus. Course delivery from year 1 of the degree onwards will be from our Coventry University campus. The globalisation of commerce and trade, along with international political co-operation, requires us to take a globalised view of the law. This course aims to provide you with a solid grounding in developing a potential career in international law. The foundation year aims to provide a thorough understanding of legal principles and best practice. With a focus on European, national and local contexts, this programme explores the development of legislation with core academic skills. Students who successfully complete their foundation year will then progress onto the International Law LLB degree within Coventry University’s Law School. The degree part of the course explores the role of law within a globalised society, whilst providing you with a foundational understanding of the law in England and Wales. In doing so, the degree aims to prepare globally aware leaders in law. The degree aims to help you:
- Acquire knowledge and understanding of legal doctrines, concepts, principles, rules and values in the core areas of law and the specialist areas of international law
- Develop an appreciation of the context in which law operates, and an understanding of the dynamic nature of law, its uncertainty, the need for reform and proposals for such reform
- Develop the ability to apply the legal knowledge and skills acquired to both the theory and practice of law within a domestic and global law context
- Engage with students at other international universities and industry experts, as well as further develop your intercultural competencies and digital skills through initiatives like our Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects
