Course description

In a world that's constantly evolving, you care deeply about human rights and believe in using the international order to improve lives globally. For you, law isn't just a set of rules to be manipulated; it's a pursuit of justice. It's not confined to national boundaries but is a chance to elevate international relations, ensuring that the rights of the strongest don't overshadow others. You see globalization as a way to bring people closer, even though regulating global responsibilities is becoming more challenging. This study program will teach you the significance of international institutions and how they can be the foundation for just prosperity, lasting peace, and sustainable development. You'll learn to shape global rules and see how meaningful work can make a real difference. The degree program is internationally focused. English is the medium of instruction, and learning one of six foreign languages is mandatory. During a semester abroad, you can enhance your skills at one of our partner universities. This program will prepare you to contribute effectively to the global community, making a tangible impact through your work.
