MA International Law, Ethics and Politics

... United Kingdom
... University of Birmingham

Course Overview

This International Law, Ethics and Politics programme from University of Birmingham is ideal for candidates from the NGO world who wish to improve their academic credentials, and students from humanities and social sciences who want to take Law courses. The course should also be of interest to graduates in public or European law who want to deepen their understanding of issues that they have previously encountered only within a legal framework. This programme can also be used as a route into PhD research.

General Eligibility

You need an upper second-class Honours degree, or equivalent, preferably in Law, Philosophy, Politics or another relevant subject. Appropriate work experience will also be taken into consideration.

If your undergraduate degree is in another subject, you are still very welcome to apply. We consider every application on its merits and we are happy to consider applicants with diverse academic backgrounds. Your level of academic achievement, letters of reference, and personal statement will all have strong influence on our decision. We may also require you to submit a writing sample. This should be around 3-4 pages long, and although it does not need to be a Philosophy, Law or Politics essay, it should provide strong evidence of your potential for the type of discursive, analytical, writing that is required in these disciplines at postgraduate level.
