Course Overview

The University of Hull’s Master of Laws in International Law (Conflict, Security and Human Rights) (LLM) degree program presents a total study of International Law as an academic and vocational discipline.

This LLM allows you not only to understand the public (political), private (economic), and moral (human rights) interactions of international law in a theoretical and practical sense but also to specialize in the legal study of conflict, security, and human rights.

This LLM is designed for students with a background in law, politics, international relations, social sciences, history, and human geography. However, applicants are welcomed from all academic disciplines and career paths, including professional and aspiring lawyers, public officials, human rights activists, diplomats, journalists, and others who are interested in understanding public international law and its role in responding to conflict, security, and human rights challenges.
