This programme will focus on developing expertise within European Law, on top of a broad understanding of International Law. Students will develop the skills and knowledge required to operate as European legal specialists. In addition to the foundational courses in Legal Research Methods and Public International Law, students will be required to study EU Internal Markets Law, Competition Law, and write a dissertation on a topic within European law. The remaining courses can be chosen from a range of relevant options. Through carefully designed course work and varied teaching approaches, students will acquire the intellectual open-ness, technical expertise and critical thinking abilities that are necessary for effectiveness in a globalising world. The programme will equip students to respond effectively to the wide range of intellectual and professional challenges facing those working on European legal issues. The LLM in International Law (specialising in European Law) will equip them to deal with both case work and policy making.

Employment Opportunities Employment opportunities for graduates of the programme will include work with international law firms, international organisations such as the United Nations, World Bank, World Trade Organisation and European Union, international courts and tribunals, ‘think tanks’ and research centres, non-governmental organisations and government (eg. Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs). Having taken one of our programmes, there will, of course, also be possibilities for academically inclined students to pursue careers in teaching and research.
