LLM / PgDip / PgCert in International Law and Sustainable Development |
| This programme is specifically designed for graduates who intend to work in the international development sector in management, planning or policy related areas. Specifically, the course will benefit those who need some understanding of the international legal framework and the way in which that framework can operate to limit / facilitate / constrain or shape international development work, as well as confer rights and obligations on various ‘stakeholders’. The purpose of this Masters degree is to give graduates a solid grounding in the structures, rules and principles of those aspects of public international law that impact on sustainable development (including the Millennium Goals) and the focus will be primarily on those aspects of international law known as ‘international economic law’. A unique aspect of the programme is the opportunity for LLM students to undertake a field dissertation within a governmental or non-governmental organisation. Project organisations will have an international focus, either in the UK, or more likely, overseas either in northern or southern countries. Students will undertake projects or field work in partnership with professionals in the local organisation centred around a specific area of law - this area of law will form the subject of the dissertation, enabling students to embed their research and experience within a particular local context, based around the identification of real, local issues. Also, the programme offers students the opportunity to study from a multidisciplinary perspective. Not only will students have the opportunity to select elective classes from other masters programmes in law, but also from related programmes in other departments in order to structure a programme of study that meets their personal and professional objectives. |
