MASTERS

International Relations

• MA in International Studies
• Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK
• These are interesting times for international studies: issues such as globalisation, environmental degradation, poverty and deprivation, international conflict, the rise of religious fundamentalism, the future of democracy - among many others - challenge us to understand trends taking place in modern society. International Studies is quintessentially concerned with these issues. These postgraduate degrees enable students to increase their understanding of contemporary issues in a global context.

International Law

• LLM in International Law
• Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK
• International law in the broadest sense is concerned not only with inter-state relations, but also with relations between states, individuals, international organisations and other non-state actors. It encompasses issues relating to the recognition of states, war, peace, the role of international organisations and liability for international crimes as well as questions relating to the regulation of international trade, investment and international financial institutions among others.

• LLM in International Human Rights Law
• Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK
• Human rights questions have been central to the development of international law during the era following the Second World War. More recently, human rights have dominated developments in national constitutional law. The LLM in International Human Rights Law is broad in scope, offering the opportunity for students to gain a critical understanding of the history and theoretical underpinnings of international human rights, international and regional human rights systems, and the practical application of human rights norms in a range of contexts.
