International Law

A globalised world demands a broad, global perspective on the law. Examine both domestic and international legal frameworks, along with the structures and mechanisms that underpin the international legal system.

Explore the role of law within a globalised society while gaining a foundational understanding of the law in England and Wales. This course aims to prepare globally aware leaders in law and help you to:

• acquire knowledge and understanding of legal doctrines, concepts, principles, rules and values in the core and 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.
