Course summary

COURSE OVERVIEW

Designed to be as flexible as possible to meet your needs, this course and all assessments are delivered entirely online with no live classes for you to attend.

Gain enhanced knowledge of contemporary issues affecting the worlds population, such as conflict, security and human rights. Youll develop an understanding of both international and national efforts to address these.

Youll undertake a complex analysis of disruptive global events, such as war crimes, genocide, terrorism, displacement of peoples, statelessness and the rights of vulnerable minorities.

As part of your course, youll also:

  • Consider how disruptive events act as drivers in the development of international legal norms
  • Study the theoretical underpinnings of the liberal world order – democracy, rule of law and human rights - and apply these concepts to an analysis of current issues related to security and conflict
  • Specialise in legal study to help prevent or resolve conflict, mitigate security risks and protect human rights
  • Understand the role of methodology in producing reliable research
  • Have the opportunity to study unique modules such as Global Security, Counter Terrorism & Justice and Genocide & War Crimes

Youll develop your research and writing skills. And youll have a good range of modules to choose from, including a dissertation where youll explore a relevant topic of your choice under the supervision of a subject specialist.

This award does not require an undergraduate degree in a particular subject. If youre a law, social science or political science student, this course will enable you to specialise in specific aspects of international law.

TEACHING & LEARNING

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. Youll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Our silver status in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework, reflects our commitment to deliver high-quality teaching, learning and outcomes for our students.
