LLM International Law

The module arrangements at the School of Law were beyond my expectations and gave me a far deeper understanding of issues related to human rights and the role of regional and international treaties. Not only did the topics covered enhance my legal knowledge, they also equipped me to evaluate ideas and concepts in ways that challenged me to think critically.
