This LLM programme allows international law and international relations to inform each other.
It covers the general methods, scope and theories of international law, international humanitarian law and international relations. The programme provides a detailed understanding of the role, potential and limitations of public international law in international affairs. Its interdisciplinary approach is particularly suited to students involved with, or hoping to work for, international organisations, non-governmental organisations, foreign affairs departments and international law firms.
Students on this LLM can choose to spend one term at our Canterbury campus and one at our Brussels centre (returning to their primary campus to complete the dissertation) under our split-site option for this programme.
Contents
The Master's degrees offered within the Law School are taught by seminar and dissertation.
You take three modules in each of the first two terms. These are normally assessed by a single essay of 4-5,000 words for each module, but some modules make special arrangements for assessment, for example, by requiring two essays of 2-2,500 words, or by awarding up to 20% of the marks according to the quality of student participation.
In the third term and during the summer period, you write a 15-20,000 word dissertation, under the supervision of a member of academic staff. This should be on a specific topic within the field of the degree.
For all of the Law taught Master's degrees, there is the alternative of studying for a postgraduate diploma. Students registered for the diploma take the same modules as a Master's student, but do not write a dissertation.
