Overview

The  Law and International Relations course from  University of Westminster  will provide you with a high-quality legal education. You will acquire an advanced understanding of the way global movements and events—from migration and refugee movements, environmental degradation and protection, weapons and impacts of war and conflict to financial and capital flows—shape how law is thought of, created, and used. You’ll be jointly taught by experts from law and international relations. This interdisciplinary approach gives you the unique opportunity to achieve a qualifying law degree with a strong international dimension. This will equip you with a diverse skill set, adaptability, and global perspective, preparing you for a wide range of professional opportunities across sectors including legal practice, diplomacy, advocacy, human rights, international business and trade, government and policy analysis as well as journalism and media. 

You’ll have the opportunity to engage with the broader community through relevant work placements and field visits. Other opportunities to enhance your CV include the option to study an additional language as part of your studies or undertake a period of studying abroad with one of our prestigious international partners. These opportunities will not only help you to gain valuable work experience and insights, but also empower you to make a positive impact on essential community services.
