This course allows students to develop an in depth knowledge of the issues faced by developing states in the international order. The LLM International Law and Development provides students with an opportunity to develop an in depth understanding of the issues faced by developing states. A specialist module on Law, Development and the International Community provides the basis of some of the key questions that need to be asked in relation to the position of developing states, such as human rights, environmental law, or international commercial law, whilst a wide variety of modules on this LLM mean that students can further specialise on particular aspects of the development debate. All taught courses are assessed by examination or essay, or a combination of both. All assessments take place at the end of the spring term. Our postgraduate students move into an extraordinarily wide range of careers. Many graduates either go into the legal profession or return to their previous legal careers with their experience and prospects enhanced by their experiences on the course.
