University of Kent

Develop a unique appreciation of 21st century challenges by integrating political and legal perspectives. Deepen your understanding of critical issues, including the ethics and conduct of armed conflict, human rights under authoritarian regimes, and interstate negotiations on issues like trade, climate change, and peace. You will be equipped with the knowledge to interpret events, identify trends and make informed judgments about world politics. Explore how international law shapes relations within and between states, focusing on key concepts and real-world issues. Learn from leading experts using innovative teaching practices, like mock negotiations, crisis simulations, and interactive seminars to develop your capacity for independent thinking and incisive analysis. Our alumni, who form an international network, have used this programme as a springboard into foreign offices and diplomatic services, the UN, EU and OECD, the IRC, Amnesty International and other NGOs, as well as businesses with an international outlook.
