Overview

You’ll explore how the law influences and responds to challenges expressed in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, such as inequality, climate change, health insecurity and human rights violations.

At the heart of this course is a critical approach: you’ll examine legal rules and institutions in context, and question who they serve, how they shape society, and how they might be reformed.

Whether your interest is in commercial law, environmental law, public international law, human rights, health or criminal justice, this course gives you the tools to think deeply and write persuasively about the most pressing legal issues of our time.

Your future

This Law programme at University of Kent will deepen your legal knowledge and expertise and provide you with the skills to put it to use. You will be equipped to answer pressing questions such as:
