Offered at Bader College, Queen's University's UK campus at 15th century Herstmonceux Castle, the Specialized Program in International Law and Politics is an upper-year study abroad program that explores specific aspects of international law. It examines the phenomenon of genocide and other forms of mass violence in historical and contemporary contexts. It situates the central statutes, customs, and institutions of international law within the broader context of global governance. 

You will learn from instructors with real-world experience working in key governmental and supra-governmental institutions, including the UK Foreign Office, Canadian Forces, and the United Nations. 

Whether you are considering a career in politics, international relations, journalism, global development, human rights, or plan to pursue further education in law or graduate school, this program will allow you to acquire a combination of knowledge, analytical skills, and international experience that will set you up for success on your academic journey. 

This Winter Term, Upper-Year program is available to Upper-Year Queen's and non-Queen's students (Level 2 and above).
