Bachelor International Law and Institutions

Exploring global issues and the law

How can we use the law to solve international challenges such as human rights doctrines, migration, the conduct of war, and trade and development? The Bachelor of Arts degree in International Law & Institutions explores these issues, as well as ways supranational institutions help shape international law.
