About this course

About the course

On this course, you’ll study:

  • the political and economic principles that govern the relations between states

  • agreements (or treaties) between states

  • the extent to which states can and do rely on such principles and treaties (considered by legal scholars as sources of public international law).

    You’re taught by research-active faculty and study theoretical and practical aspects of law. Through the Sussex Law Clinics, you can gain valuable work experience of the law in action before you graduate. We also have links with leading law firms that sponsor our student competitions in national and international mooting, criminal advocacy, client interviewing, negotiation, mediation and legal debating. Our supportive alumni are also happy to provide career advice for current students.
