Location of University of Surrey
The post-Cold War world has been rocked by events such as the ‘War on Terror’, the recent conflict in Iraq and the humanitarian crises in regions like Darfur. Globalisation and international trade also play their part. Laws between states are as important today as are laws within states.
This programme will enable you to gain a deeper and more profound understanding of this exciting and still developing area, through looking more closely at some of the areas of current controversy.
Given the fluid nature of international law, students seeking to specialise in this area will benefit from many opportunities to engage in and debate the key controversies of this subject in groups and seminar discussions. During the programme you will have the chance to understand, examine and apply fundamental concepts of international law from both theoretical and political perspectives.
You will also learn more about the international system itself and global dispute resolution.
You will take eight optional modules, at least four of which must be chosen from the International Law module list below. You may choose to study up to four modules from other subject areas within the Law postgraduate portfolio (see the list under the LLM Law information). Some modules may not be offered if numbers are too low. In addition, students taking the LLM programme will complete a dissertation in a topic related to international law. You will discuss the nature and scope of your topic with your tutors during your time at the University.

Accreditation
The University of Surrey School of Management is unique as the only business school in the world to hold simultaneous accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). MBA and Tourism students can be assured of the quality of their programme and the School as recognized by these awards.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is an international body which assesses business schools on the quality of their programmes and operational management. AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide.
Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.
AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education. AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:
* Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
* Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
* Provide high-calibre teaching of quality and current curricula.
* Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
* Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.
An AACSB accredited business school gives an assurance that it is amongst the best in the world.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation is widely recognised as the global standard for MBA programmes. The association has acted as an advocate for MBA programmes around the world since 1967 and assesses business schools and their post-experience management programmes against rigorous criteria. These criteria include:
* The institution offering an MBA should have a clear strategy and mission, explicitly expressed and regularly updated. It will have a clear understanding of the market for its products.
* Staff should be credible in terms of their academic qualifications, their ability to teach business at postgraduate level, the quality of their research and the extent of their business contacts and consultancy activities.
* As the MBA is a post-experience, postgraduate degree, students admitted onto an accredited MBA must have a minimum of three years work experience, with the cohort averaging 5 years experience.
* The curriculum should be generalist in nature and must cover the core business skills: marketing, the economic and legal environment of a business, accounting and quantitative methods, finance, organisational theory, interpersonal skills, information technology, and the processes and practices of management.
The School of Management has a long association with the tourism industry and a worldwide reputation for excellence in tourism education. It was the first institution in the UK to receive UNWTO TedQual certification for both its undergraduate and postgraduate tourism programmes.
The UNWTO TedQual certification system contributes to the quality and efficiency of tourism education training and research. It proposes a methodology and voluntary standards with universal scope to more clearly define the quality of tourism education systems. The UNWTO TedQual certification system is a quality assurance system for tourism education, training and research. The specific aims of the UNWTO TedQual certification system are:
* Establish a quality standard for tourism education and training systems.
* Smooth the way towards greater pedagogic productivity in tourism.
