Public International Law is concerned both with the relations between states and with the relationship between individuals, international organisations and states. At Kent Law School, the emphasis in the teaching of public international law has always been upon its relevance to contemporary international problems and events. It is taught primarily through a consideration of current international events.
The programme will enable you to understand and evaluate public international law and its role, potential and limitations in international affairs. The programme will also emphasise the theoretical bases of international law.
The programme is of particular benefit for those involved with, or hoping to work for, international organisations, non-governmental organisations or in international law firms.
This LLM programme is offered at both the Canterbury campus and Brussels campus of the University of Kent.
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.
