Summary

This LLM Law with Global Political Economy gives you the opportunity to focus on the operation and relationship of the systems of public international law and international economic law in the post-colonial context.

It will equip you with a solid conceptual understanding of these systems and, whether you are from a law or non-law background, it will enable you to engage with questions of international justice.

Our teaching is underpinned by legal, critical, policy, social sciences and humanities-oriented perspectives. You can look forward to a stimulating learning environment, alongside others with diverse backgrounds and professional experiences. Our students include those with pre-existing knowledge or experience of law, and those with a desire to pursue a specialism in this area. This course is ideal if you would like to advance in your existing career or are ambitious to carve out a new career path.
