The LLM in International Law & Security focuses on the role and relevance of international law in a rapidly changing global security environment. It reflects the breadth of contemporary international security issues, addressing issues as diverse as terrorism, armed conflicts and transnational organised crime.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Law (LLB or LLM).
We may also consider a UK 2:1 Honours degree, or its international equivalent, in international relations, politics, or a relevant social sciences or humanities subject area.
While we welcome applicants from non-legal backgrounds, it is important to note that this LLM remains a law-focused degree.
If applying with a degree that is not in Law (LLB or LLM) please provide a personal statement and an academic reference.
There is a high demand for law professionals with expertise in international law and security. You will be well placed for roles in international institutions, government departments (ministries of foreign affairs, defence, justice, home affairs, and development), non-governmental organisations and law firms.
