Description
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Public International Law is a one-year programme on an advanced level. During the programme, students will acquire in-depth knowledge of international law, as well as be provided the necessary theoretical and methodological foundations to be able to work independently with research, development or other qualified work in the area of international law. The programme consists of four courses; three of the courses are mandatory and one is an elective advanced course, divided into two possible tracks. The first course “Advanced Course in Public International Law” (ACIL), 15 credits, aims at repeating and deepening the general parts of international law, including a critical review of the research front and current development perspectives. After the first course, students can choose one of two tracks. In the first track, international law and the individual, students will study human rights (“Human Rights in a Global Perspective” – HRGP) and international criminal law (“International Criminal Law” – ICL). In the second track, human rights and economy, students first study human rights (“Human Rights in a Global Perspective” – HRGP) and then international economic law (“International Law and the Global Economy” – ILE). The second course, “Human Rights in a Global Perspective” (HRGP), is mandatory and takes up important concepts, norms and compliance structures in the field of human rights. The first elective, “International Criminal Law” (ICL), focuses on the national and international aspects of the criminal state jurisdiction. The second elective, (“International Law and the Global Economy” – ILE), aims to provide general knowledge of the legal principles and mechanisms within international economic law, with a particular focus on free trade law, investment Law and financial law. The fourth and final course, which is mandatory, is the master thesis in public international law, 15 credits.

If that is the case we have a lot to offer. This area of interest covers anything from Pedagogy, Psychology and Gender Studies, to Statistics, Political Science, Law and many other subjects. Their common denominator is the relation between human beings and society, independent analytical thinking and often an international perspective.
