“

The Oxford Law Faculty has been a major centre for the study of international law for over 400 years. Today, Oxford has a distinguished group of international law scholars who research and teach across a diverse range of public international law areas. Although there continues to be emphasis on the study of the general principles which underpin the international legal system, the teaching and research of international law in Oxford allows for specialisation in particular areas of international law.

“

International Law in Oxford benefits from deep connections with scholarship and teaching in other allied fields in the Faculty of Law, including human rights law, environmental law, European law, and legal philosophy. The study of international law also has a central role in research programmes and graduate courses in a number of Centres and Institutes across the University: in particular, the Refugee Studies Centre, the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, the Environmental Change Institute, and the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment.

“

In addition to work in international law within the Oxford Law Faculty, the University of Oxford is a major centre for the study of international relations. International lawyers within the Faculty of Law work with colleagues in the Department of Politics and International Relations, the Oxford Martin School and the Blavatnik School of Government, to enhance the connections with scholarship in public policy and international relations.
