International Law

The globalisation of commerce and trade, along with international political co-operation, requires us to take a globalised view of the law. This course explores domestic and international law, as well as the mechanisms of the international legal system.

The International Law LLB (Hons) course explores the role of law within a globalised society, whilst providing you with a foundational understanding of the law in England and Wales. In doing so, the course aims to prepare globally aware leaders in law.

The course aims to help you:

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