• The L.L.M in Human Rights and Humanitarian Law at Aberystwyth University is a 1 year full-time program.
  • It provides a comprehensive overview of international law and how it works in the contemporary world.
  • The course balances the academic with the urgently practical - for example, combining the necessarily comprehensive detail of human rights legislation in conflict with the harsh reality of the threat posed to human rights by the same conflict.
  • Other modules will tackle significant issues such as the victory of democracy on the international stage and the ideological change that has shifted it in the West from a system of government to the only route to ensure peace and prosperity in places like the Middle East.
  • An important part of the course is the writing of a detailed dissertation within the specialism of the student’s choice.
  • This is his opportunity to select a project topic that has a direct bearing on his professional life.
  • Previous L.L.M students at Aberystwyth have found this opportunity to be invaluable in establishing a successful career.
