It is an opportunity to gain knowledge through systematic academic enquiry and for you to demonstrate your ability to explore and present legal arguments. The style of research may range from empirical investigation to textual analysis. You will develop transferable skills in research, information and project management. You will be encouraged to choose an international law topic of personal interest or one related to your occupation.
