Apa yang akan saya pelajari?

Human rights have become a central, defining feature of modern international law. Applicable to everyone across the world, regardless of their religion and beliefs, nationality, and sex, they set the ethical and moral framework against which the actions of individuals, governments, businesses and other institutions are judged, justified and challenged. This LLM sets international human rights in their broader philosophical, historical and social contexts, providing an interdisciplinary study of the international legal processes designed to ensure their realisation. It will prepare you to protect the rights of vulnerable groups, ensuring greater accountability and helping to bring about positive change.

COURSE SUMMARY

International law is an increasingly important field of study and practice. The regulation of financial markets, environmental protection, the management of migrations, or the prosecution of war criminals are all areas in which international law plays a central role.

On the LLM in International Law and Human Rights, you’ll learn how human rights standards are monitored across the globe, used as a condition of participation in international trade and cooperation, and the receipt of financial aid, with violations prosecuted by international courts and tribunals.

You’ll be introduced to the numerous declarations and treaties which proclaim and codify human rights – protecting the welfare of individuals, communities and nations, their political, social and economic development – and encouraged to think critically about the limits, ambiguities and contradictions of human rights norms, institutions, and practices.

Keele School of Law is an internationally recognised centre for cutting-edge, socially relevant legal research, which tackles some of the most pressing challenges facing society today. Key research themes include: Social Justice and Human Rights; International and European Law; Ethics, Health and Social Care; Legal Education, Innovation, and Practice; Gender, Sexuality, and Law.

The wide range of staff expertise enables us to offer four specialist pathways in: Commerce and Business; the Environment; Human Rights; and Politics. This also considerably broadens the scope for potential interdisciplinary research topics; a fascinating range of dissertation topics chosen by past students covers areas as diverse as the law of the sea to the principles of state extradition.

You can also choose from a wide range of elective modules offered both within the Law School and other faculties, for example, Keele Business School. To complement your studies, you can study a modern language, including key UN languages such as French, Russian and Spanish.

Students frequently tell us one of the highlights of the course is the annual study trip to Geneva to see international law-making, diplomacy, arbitration and humanitarian efforts in action within organisations such as the WTO, UN’s European headquarters and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

YOUR CAREER

A postgraduate qualification in international law opens up opportunities for a wide range of roles across the public, private and third sectors. International law provides the framework for cooperation in many fields of international relations, including: peace and security; trade and investment; environmental protection; telecommunications; air travel; and maritime navigation.

This can open up careers in consultancy in international affairs, legal practice, international development, foreign relations and advocacy working for government foreign ministries, international organisations, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Employers may include international courts and tribunals, UN agencies, law reform agencies, and even the media, in areas of journalism and broadcasting.
