International Law LLM at University of Sussex

Programme overview

Examine how international law regulates the world. Study its challenges in different political contexts and apply skills through practical experience. International law is a dynamic and evolving area of law. It encompasses a wide range of topics and specialisations engaging with the relationships between states, non-state actors and international organisations. International law often operates in politicised contexts such as use of force, armed conflicts or climate emergency. Yet it also regulates the everyday routine of our interdependent world, such as immigration, trade and international investments.
