Master of Laws (LL.M) in International Law
Master of Laws (LLM) | in International Law
This programme is designed to provide participants with in-depth knowledge of international law that responds to increasing challenges and complexity in the international legal order in the era of globalization. One notable impact of such a development is that international law has become increasingly detailed and specific. Matters that it deals with include disputes, security, cyber space, state jurisdictions and conflict of laws, international trade, and immigration, to name but a few. In order to expose the participants to this broad spectrum of international issues, they can choose to specialise in any one of three areas of international law by following its ‘specialisation courses’ in addition to the requisite core courses. These areas of specialisation are Human Rights & Humanitarian Law, International Trade Law, Maritime Law and Climate Change Policy Law.
Programme Requirements: a)4 Core Courses b) 8 Elective Courses
The courses are taught in a tri semester-based academic calendar with 3 trimesters of 12 teaching weeks per academic year
