Program details

Overview

This research master moves beyond studying what the law is, to investigating what it does and what it might become, through a selective and intellectually demanding course of study. Students design their own specialisation and work closely with experienced researchers to develop advanced methodological and analytical skills, building the depth, independence and critical mindset needed for a PhD or a research-oriented career in international organisations, policy or legal practice.
