About Public International Law, MRes - at Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary University of London

The MRes is ideal if you are planning to undertake doctoral-level study in the area of public international law. However, it also caters for those seeking to expand and apply their knowledge of this area of study, and is an ideal preparation for those wishing to pursue more advanced research.

You will undertake two compulsory modules in social science research, covering epistemology, research design, and qualitative methods as well as quantitative methods and data. You will then select from a substantial list of existing elective modules developed for the LLM in Public International Law. Please note that not all modules will be available in any given year.

Your core modules are taught jointly with social science students from a range of disciplines across Queen Mary, King's College London and Imperial College. This training is offered by the ESRC-funded London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership.
