Master of International Law

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Our increasingly globalised world necessitates a greater understanding of international law, international relations and international dispute resolution mechanisms. Today's greatest problems and crises-including the COVID-19 pandemic, terrorism, and climate change-require international coordination rather than diverse national responses. In Griffith's Master of International Law, you'll be equipped with the skills to understand and apply international and globalised law principles in a range of contexts. Throughout your studies, you'll explore crucial topics such as international human rights and environmental issues, cross-border negotiations, transactions and disputes, and public international law developments.
