Overview

The International Law course from the University of Plymouth examines the foundational concepts of international law and focuses on their application in critical areas such as human rights, humanitarian law, and international and transnational criminal law, while offering scope to appreciate geopolitical realities from the perspective of international relations.

Career opportunities:

Established, long-standing links to global NGOs such as the International Committee of the Red Cross offer tangible real-world engagement with the law and policy studied in the course. A close working relationship with immigration-focused NGOs further enhances students’ understanding of the practical and professional contexts in which international law operates, and supports graduates in developing relevant networks and career pathways.
