LLM International Criminal Law

The LLM in International Criminal Law provides students with an advanced understanding of the history, structures, law and practice of the various international criminal tribunals and the International Criminal Court. Students will gain an in-depth knowledge of international criminal law, its component crimes, substantive law and key procedures. Students will also develop an analytical approach to the relationship between other accountability mechanisms, such as truth commissions. The LLM in International Criminal Law is of interest to those seeking to learn about the growing field of international criminal justice, the role of the International Criminal Court in international affairs and means for holding to account perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Career Opportunities
Students who have undertaken and successfully completed the programme tend to fall into one of four categories:
those who work within the United Nations (UN) or with UN-affiliated organisations,
those who work in NGO and quasi-NGOs— both human rights and development,
those who work in academic institutions or pursue a PhD/JD,
those who work in diplomatic or government-based work (in the human rights division of the Department of Foreign Affairs, for example).
Within these umbrella categories, students have pursued work in the ICC, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, ICRC, the UN system (Geneva and New York), locally-based NGOs, trade and health organisations, as well as domestic law firm work that draws on international legal mechanisms and research-based work in university research centres, to name but a few.
