Program overview
International law is the study of how legal interactions occur between countries, multinational corporations, and individuals from different nations. You will learn about public international law (e.g., how the UN operates, rules of war), private international law (e.g., which country's law applies in cross-border marriages or contract disputes), and international economic law (e.g., WTO rules, international trade and investment). Core courses also include international arbitration, maritime law, and international human rights law. Chinese universities offer distinctive features in this field—for instance, many institutions incorporate the "Belt and Road" initiative to teach legal practices in partner countries, or host moot court competitions for hands-on experience. This program suits students interested in international news, diplomacy, cross-border business, logical reasoning, and cross-cultural communication.
