Course content

The course is premised on the idea regulating security at an international level requires not only the regulation of the use of force and methods of warfare but also that of international investments, international financial transactions and intellectual property. This offers a unique opportunity for you to gain expertise which are relevant and applicable in today's changing global landscape.

This course draws on Manchester's established reputation in international legal research to offer you a wide range of optional subjects, and the opportunity to customise your curriculum according to your career ambitions, needs and areas of interest.

The course will also afford you the research skills to continue to advance your knowledge of contemporary securities in international law and apply them to a range of professional careers.
