The modern world is defined by its global nature; no individual or country is left untouched by global interactions or implications.

This is not just in relation to economic processes, but also critical transnational issues, such as immigration, terrorism, environmental damage and cyber security. Law is increasingly called upon to respond to these challenges in innovative and nuanced ways.Ê

The International Law and Globalisation programme from theÊUniversity of BirminghamÊdraws on our strength of research in the areas of international law, comparative law and global legal theory. You will develop a multifaceted understanding of how the international system works, but also its key modern challenges and the way law and regulation address them.Ê

There will be an opportunity to focus on critical global issues, including the flow of international trade or energy supplies, but also the globalisation of crime and terrorism and the resulting implications for human rights and international development, more generally.
