How can law help to build a more just world? Our interdisciplinary LLM examines the relationship between development and global justice, with a focus on the Global South. Combining theory and practice, we’ll challenge you to think critically and creatively about the role of law in addressing inequality, protecting rights and supporting social change. Engage with the latest thinking at a law school rated in the top 10 of the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021).
Sceptical about what was awaiting me after travelling over 4000 miles to pursue the LLM in IDLHR, the University of Warwick surpassed my expectations! From lecture rooms and academic support to career guidance, it has been nothing short of a remarkable journey. The experience has expanded my outlook as well as honed my critical thinking, legal research, and leadership skills. It has been life-changing to learn and interact with course mates from diverse backgrounds. My experience is one for the books and you too can be part of the Warwick community!
