This post comes to us from Jason Rudall, Programme Manager of the LL.M. in International Law at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva

Building on a Distinguished Tradition: The Graduate Institute, Geneva to Launch New LL.M.

The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies will launch an LL.M. in International Law from September 2013. The LL.M. will provide advanced, comprehensive and practical training in international law to a select group of participants.

Students on the LL.M. Programme will gain exposure to world-renowned faculty, benefit from being at the heart of international legal affairs in Geneva and have the opportunity to share ideas with other participants who come from an array of different legal backgrounds and perspectives.

The Programme allows participants to tailor their studies according to their particular interests, while compulsory courses provide a firm grounding in public international law. Small tutorials and intensive courses facilitate a deeper exploration of the most pressing questions in the field with professors and practitioners at the cutting edge of international law.

The LL.M. in International Law is also profoundly committed to developing the transferable skills necessary to succeed in the professional world. To this end, law clinics, workshops on legal writing, presentation skills and career development, as well as a variety of network-building events, provide the best possible springboard from which to launch or advance a career in international law.

Applications for the 2013-2014 Programme will open on 15 September 2012 and close on 15 January 2013. For more information, please visit the following website: www.graduateinstitute.ch/executive/llm
