The International Legal Internship allows students to gain credit for undertaking advanced legal research and analysis on an approved international internship of at least ten weeks of full-time work in an approved international institution or organisation. The program is focused on providing students with an opportunity to engage with legal and policy issues in contemporary society through work experience and further develop oral and written communication skills. Students are required to secure and fund their internships personally. Students are encouraged to discuss their internship proposals with the subject coordinators. Students who successfully enrol in the International Legal Internship must arrange a meeting with at least one of the subject coordinators both prior to their internship and upon completion of their internship so as to develop a better understanding of research and the role of international institutions in international law and relations. |
