About the course
This Geopolitics, Resources and Territory MA is a unique multidisciplinary programme that has a dual focus on the territorial and resource-related aspects of inter-state relations, bringing together the legal side of things in as much detail as the social sciences.

This is supplemented with teaching and guidance from leading external practitioners in the field of international dispute resolution and environmental management
