The programme includes optional participation in a student trip to Geneva. We offer excellent facilities including our dedicated School of Law library, our main University library also contains our extensive collection of legal materials and official publications and is a European Documentation Centre. The programme is based on small-group, seminar-style teaching by experts in the field. The programme is complemented by guest speaker events and research workshops, allowing students to get involved with leading academics from outside Glasgow. There is a high demand for law professionals with expertise in international law and security.
