LLM International Law (Human Rights Conflict and Security)

In an age of rising conflict, displacement and human rights abuses, this programme empowers you to explore how international law can defend human dignity and promote global justice. You’ll study the rules that govern war and peace, the international protection of human rights, and the legal responses to global crises such as modern slavery, terrorism, and forced migration. You’ll have the opportunity to tailor your studies through specialist modules on topics including international criminal justice, refugee law, modern slavery and human trafficking, and the intersection between human rights and the environment.

Through these, you’ll gain the legal insight and practical understanding needed to engage with the most pressing human rights and security issues facing the world today. Taught by internationally recognised experts in human rights, conflict and international law, this programme combines rigorous academic training with a passion for social justice and global engagement. It’s ideal for those who want to make a difference - whether in international organisations, government, NGOs, legal practice or academia.

You’ll also benefit from exclusive opportunities such as our annual careers convention, connecting you with leading law firms and professionals working across the field of international law, policy and human rights. And we’ve partnered with the University of Law to deliver the series of Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) postgraduate courses on campus at Hull, for those who want to go on to professional practice.
