LLB (Hons) Law with International Relations at Anglia Ruskin University

Law rarely stops at borders. This course pairs a qualifying law degree with the study of international relations. Alongside the academic grounding you’d expect from a law degree, including contract, tort, public law, property and equity, you’ll examine why the world is organised into competing states, and where international law, diplomacy and armed conflict fit into that picture.
