International & Comparative Law - LLM

This programme is designed for law students who want to expand and deepen their knowledge of the complex challenges national societies and the international community face today. How can we settle international disputes peacefully? What are the means to prevent and address mass human rights atrocities? How can we tackle climate change and the loss of biodiversity? Is it possible to regulate new technologies such as artificial intelligence globally? And how do different legal systems and regimes approach common problems and challenges? If you are interested in these or similar questions, this course is right for you.

Admission Requirements Applications are invited from well-qualified graduates who hold a very good Honours Bachelor degree in law or in a law-based interdisciplinary programme. Applications may also be considered from exceptional graduates in disciplines relevant to the LL.M degree they are applying for if: a substantial component of their undergraduate degree(s) is in Law; or they have significant professional legal experience. Fulfilment of the above criteria does not guarantee admission. Admission to Trinity's LL.M. programmes is at the absolute discretion of the School of Law, which will decide on admissions based on a range of academic criteria, including the quality of the individual application and the objectives of ensuring a diverse LL.M. class of the highest possible academic calibre.
