ObjectivesThis degree has been developed in response to an increasingly globalised world in which traditional boundaries are being replaced by a more dynamic international political and legal environment. It addresses areas such as the development of international legal regimes, international conflict and migration, human rights and the idea of global justice and issues such as global environmental change, international crime and terrorism. It combines a grounding in the evolution and practice of international law with a strong theoretical grasp of the contemporary global environment. We have one the largest integrated Law and International Relations Departments in the UK. Our excellent resources include staff with considerable expertise and state-of-the-art teaching facilities.
