LLB Law with International Relations
About this course
Law with international relations prepares you for a professional and intellectual world in which legal systems do not operate in isolation. English law shapes and is shaped by international agreements, human rights frameworks, trade regimes, and geopolitical forces that cross national borders. Understanding these interconnections makes you a more sophisticated legal thinker and a more effective professional in a globalised practice environment. At Middlesex University this three-year full-time LLB gives you the core principles of English law required for academic qualification as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales, alongside in-depth study of international relations. You will study the law of contract, tort, property, constitutional and administrative law, and criminal law, while also examining the political, social, and economic forces shaping global affairs. The international relations component develops your understanding of how states interact, what drives international law and policy, and how global institutions function. The combination ensures that you engage with law as something that operates in a real political and economic world, not as an abstract set of rules. Graduates are well placed to pursue qualification as solicitors or barristers, following the Legal Practice Course or Bar Practice Course. Many also move into careers in international law firms, human rights organisations, diplomatic services, the civil service, international organisations, and NGOs. The combination of legal training and international awareness is valued by employers who need graduates who can navigate both domestic and international legal frameworks. Postgraduate study in international law, human rights, or public international law is a natural continuation for those wishing to develop a specialisation in the international dimensions of legal practice.
