One notable impact of such a development is that international law has become increasingly detailed and specific. Matters that it deals with include <strong>disputes, security, cyber space, state jurisdictions and conflict of laws, international trade, and immigration<\/strong>, 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 &#8216;specialisation courses&#8217; in addition to the requisite core courses. These areas of specialisation are Human Rights &amp; Humanitarian Law, International Trade Law, Maritime Law and Climate Change Policy Law.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h5><h5><span style=\"font-weight:
