Public International Law is a contemporary programme which addresses global governance trends and offers students competence in fields which will promote careers in international public and private institutions.

The Masters programme in Public International Law is a 1 1/2-year programme that provides an opportunity for studies of the basic rules of international public law. In addition, the program gives students the opportunity to focus their studies on their topics of interest through classes, TULSA seminars, and the writing of a master’s thesis. Students will also be able to participate in the Telders Moot Court Competition.

The courses offer a context-based approach which highlights linkages between the national, regional, and international levels. In addition, the Law Faculty offers an exciting series of international public law lunches, guest lectures, and seminars highlighting national and international scholars and practitioners.

The programme has three core specialisations:

1. Security, Peace & International Law 
2. Gender, Peace, Development & Environment 
3. International Economic Law & Sustainable Development
