Education

UCILS organises, in cooperation with SIM, an LLM in Public International Law. This is a one-year master’s programme taught entirely in English, which is open to students from all over the world.  This LLM has a number of compulsory core subjects and two specialisations (tracks): Human Rights and Environment and Law of the Sea.

UCILS organises a number of bachelor’s courses, both at the Law Department and University College Utrecht.

It also offers tailor-made courses to public and private institutions. Its staff members regularly give guest lectures and participate in summer schools. 

This Summer, Utrecht Univeristy offers a Summer School on Public International Law. The Public International Law course will look at the role of international law in responding to today's global challenges, such as the declaration of independence by Catalonia, Russian activities in Ukraine, the legal aftermath of Srebrenica, the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq, and climate change negotiations. These issues will be used to examine the nature and function of international law, its sources and subjects, and questions of jurisdiction and immunities, state responsibility and the responsibility of international organizations.
