The Research Master's in Public International Law deals with some of the most important and fascinating topics of our time, such as protection of human rights and international criminal justice.
The two-year Research Master's programme in Public International Law aims to give students knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles of public international law and, in particular, key areas of the international rule of law, legal science and international legal research. At the same time, students will acquire the skills they need to be able to apply their knowledge in these areas in order to conduct fundamental and applied research. The Research Master's will allow students to pursue a career in international law, whether in academia or in practice.
Contents
During the first year, students gain an understanding of the foundations of public international law and, more specifically, the international rule of law. They are also trained in theories and methods of legal research. Under the supervision of a senior researcher, students form small groups that contribute to the research projects carried out within the Amsterdam Centre for International Law (ACIL). Master classes help students to improve their writing, presentation, debating and argumentation skills.
In the second year, students will have the opportunity to specialise in a topic within the theme of the international rule of law, for example in the field of human rights, criminal law or humanitarian law, either in Amsterdam or a foreign law school in Europe, the United States or elsewhere.
Students take part in a research seminar, and are intensively supervised as they conduct research for there theses. The theses are expected to meet high academic and scientific standards.
