Careers

The LLM in International Criminal Law and International Human Rights Law opens up exciting career paths in law and in many other rewarding areas where you can make a difference to people's lives and the planet.

You may wish to use the knowledge and skills you acquire in a specifically legal career, for example to work in the public sector as a government lawyer, or in the private sector, specialising in human rights law.

If you don’t want to practise as a solicitor or barrister, you may still wish to work in an area where your legal training and knowledge would be advantageous and where you can work to make a positive difference. Many non-governmental organisations (charities) require people with legal backgrounds to work as policy officers, campaigners and advice workers. International organisations, such as the United Nations and regional human rights bodies, offer tremendous opportunities to those who are looking for an international career.
