The LLM in International Law and International Relations explores the dynamic relationship between global governance and legal frameworks. Co-taught by the Law School and the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion (PPR), this program allows students to investigate both theoretical concepts and practical applications of international law and diplomacy, while gaining insight into how legal frameworks shape state interactions.
Our Law School hosts several research centers including the Centre for International Law and Human Rights, the Centre for Crime, Law and Justice, the Centre for Law and Society, and the Centre for Child and Family Justice. PPR houses the Richardson Institute for Peace Studies and the Cultural Political Economy Research Centre. These leading research institutions support our postgraduate programs, giving students opportunities to engage with scholars specializing in international relations, legal studies, and socio-legal research.
The LLM curriculum offers a balanced approach: students complete six modules from both Law and PPR departments, followed by a 15,000-word dissertation. This structure encourages independent research while developing interdisciplinary analytical skills. Core components include International Law, Key Theories in International Relations Studies, either Legal Research Methods or Postgraduate Theory and Methods, plus the LLM Dissertation.
