International Law, LLB (Hons)

Our LLB in International Law allows students to explore both domestic and international legal frameworks, with the flexibility to study entirely at the Law School or spend part of the second year or the full third year abroad, returning for the final year. This programme adopts a global perspective, examining the fundamentals of international relations and offering optional modules such as the Laws of Armed Conflict or United States Law. Through a diverse array of topics relevant to today's interconnected world, students develop essential skills for evolving business environments in the UK and internationally.Reasons to pursue this course include participation in the International Summer School Scheme, access to expert mooting training with opportunities in competitions, involvement in the LEX Student Law Society for social and networking activities, and learning in state-of-the-art facilities like mock courtrooms. The programme builds knowledge progressively, fostering an understanding of law's role in global issues, and in the third year, offers a chance to study at partner universities, enhancing cross-cultural perspectives and preparing graduates for careers, including pathways to the Solicitors Qualifying Exam or barrister training courses.

You will build on your knowledge throughout the course to develop a sound appreciation of the role of law in relation to international issues, something that is vital in an increasingly globalised employment market. In Year Three you have the opportunity to spend a full year studying abroad at one of our partner universities. This provides an exciting chance to experience life in another country and look at law from an international perspective.
