With our innovative course design, this course would suit students without a law background and provide you with an in-depth and critical understanding of public international law. You will be able to tailor the course to suit your needs by choosing from a broad range of subjects including law of armed conflict, law of United Nations, international environmental law, international migration law, international criminal law, human rights and international finance law.

During the Public International Law programme offered at the University of Leicester , you will develop your ability to think both analytically and critically through our strong emphasis on independent study research.
