Specialisations: Optional courses: students can choose a foreign language Distinctive features of a study programme: The program will be experiential, seeking to build on the competencies that participants, teaching experts and programme partners will bring with them. It is expressly recognised that today ‘s students now come to university education with a strong set of skills, such as technology, fact finding and synthesis. This programme will build from this denominator. A series of flexible teaching means will be employed that will build upon the different strengths learners have, such as role plays, simulations and problem solving, so that the law and legal skills are learnt to participants ‘s core needs and strengths. As such, the programme will draw on a diverse range of interactive and engaging pedagogies. Its means of teaching will be its strengths, recognising different learning styles. There will be text based, kinaesthetic such as mooting and advocacy, auditory through quizzes and talks, visual through videos and gamification. Soft skills will complement legal skills and be fundamental to the delivery of the programme. Professionalism, independence, ethics, written and verbal communication, teamwork, reflection, time management, technology, creative problem solving, thorough attention to detail, situational awareness, resilience, empathy, agility, and strong leadership skills will underpin all courses, as will the Law School ‘s ethos and values of education for a quality life. The programme will be organic and contemporary, drawing upon real life global security issues of the time as case studies. There is much insecurity at the moment and the programme has a strong value proposition. It tutors are leaders in the field, all with a passion for global security – and will incorporate their practical insight and wisdom in providing careers guidance to students. There will be a strong practical emphasis in the programme, with tutors providing careers advice. Recognising the central role that technology now plays in global security, the programme leaders will incorporate considerations of technology, such as the AI, the blockchain and crypto currency. Students will look at the growing role of technology. Keeping with the practical approach, the programme leaders will look to partner and bring in international and national experiences for students, including internship experience and mobility opportunities. The programme will be in English. Access to professional activity or further study: Access to professional activity: Graduates of this programme will be able to work in international and national institutions dealing with national and global security issues in both the public and private sectors, particularly in the areas of human rights, compliance, anti-money laundering, energy and other forms of security. Lawyers work in numerous areas of global security, at the international, regional, and national level. For example, they work for the various organs of the United Nations, whose primary function is to oversee global peace and security. The Council of Europe has lawyers who are concerned with the protection and advancement of security-related human rights, such as the prohibition against torture – and lawyers work at the national level to advance security, such as freedom from want and social welfare. All such occupations are underpinned by legal frameworks that lawyers need to understand, interpret, and strategically apply, and this programme covers such training. Diplomats, too, need to understand matters of global security, such as what route to take in order to ensure a fair-trade system. Diplomats need to have an awareness of various legal frameworks that have been designed to maintain international fairness and the international order, and this programme will cover the legal foundations of the international rule of law and how to apply soft and other skills that will be relevant for diplomats. The same will apply to those who want to understand the stable world order for international trade in international business. Those wanting to work for companies and in the private sector will also benefit from this programme. Companies operating in other jurisdictions will want to know what legal avenues are open to them in case there is a dispute, such as economic frameworks and investor state disputes concerning another state. We have recently seen an increase in data protection laws that have affect the private sector, such as the GDPR. Technology companies are entering the global security space to provide tools and systems to monitor global security and the programme will benefit those seeking to understand and build global security LawTech. Many international NGOs work in the field of global security. Human Rights Watch, for instance, is a prominent one. They play an important role in monitoring and preventing human rights violation, not just civil and political ones, but also rights that are relevant to security such as food and shelter. This course will train those who want to enter into NGOs on the various legal framework and obligations of states when it comes to security and also on key skills like communication and advocacy. It will also aid journalists in holding states to legal account when it comes to their security obligations. Journalists will learn about relevant legal frameworks, principles of proof and evidence, and how to fact find to decide if a state may have violated its obligations. This is a practical course with a heavy emphasis on legal knowledge, legal skills, and soft skills when it comes to the law. All of these will be of value to the profiles mentioned above but will also be applicable and valuable to many other sectors too. They are all transferable skills. Access to further study: After completing the studies students have a right to apply for the Master studies.

Such method brings the students to consider, measure, analyse and draw conclusions, and is used for assessment forming. Individual verbal interviews - performs the functions of formative, summative or final assessment. It enables to develop logical thinking, well-formed language and clear expression of ideas. When maintaining the thesis on individual verbal interview, the student demonstrates his/her knowledge in a particular area. Colloquiums (could constitute of a test (open and closed questions) and a practical task). Here the feedback on the graduates' achievements and progress is received. It is applied in a pre-examination stage. Case studies (in written or verbal form) – the feedback is received, whether the practical content based teaching method and case study method during the seminars have achieved their aims: are the students able to provide the particular solution on problematical issue and also to demonstrate specific subject competences. Moreover, on examination of particular case in a group, cooperation skills are also developed and assessed. Mind and concept mapping method is directed for checking the cognitive abilities (to consider, classify, analyse, structure and summarize), also develops logical and critical thinking. Presentation (report) is used both for the final assessment, in showing the outcomes of a master's thesis, and for the interim tests of particular subjects’ topics. Hereby abilities to read research literature, laws, case law, to make conclusions independently, to express ideas in logical order, to speak in front of the audience, to communicate efficiently are tested. It may be individual or in a group. Written survey method - during exam or a course credit test the students have to answer the questions in written form and to demonstrate gained knowledge and capability to adapt it when dealing with the practical situation. Synopsis - a paper work, which aim is to perform the thorough analysis of a subject, topic or sources of literature.

The references are made in written or verbal form. This method is applicable for formulating an assessment. The volume of it is set by the lecturer. For the assessment of the performance in particular subjects, the cumulative score system is applied. The final score consists of cumulative score and final exam’s score. An exam is considered as passed if the final assessment is positive, i.e. 5 points or more. The final assessment consists of a master's thesis preparation and public defense. The thesis shows the student’s ability to creatively and critically analyze theoretical and practical problems, to represent research data and, in accordance to the above, to formulate independent conclusions. The preparation of thesis should be started in the first semester, and should be defended in the last semester.
