You’ll emerge from the master’s course with a unique skill set and perspectives that cross legal silos. This will truly set you apart as an expert in your field.

You’ll explore the workings of powerful global actors – like the World Bank and the UN. You’ll also have the freedom to explore areas of international law that interest you most, from global development to international human rights systems. You can start your LLM course in January or September, the choice is yours.
