Program overview
International law is the study of how countries, multinational corporations, and international organizations "play by the rules." Simply put, you learn how to use legal frameworks to handle issues like international trade disputes, maritime rights, human rights protection, and diplomatic immunity. Core courses include public international law, private international law, international economic law, international arbitration, treaty law, and law of the sea. Studying international law in China has a unique advantage: many professors have firsthand experience with WTO dispute resolution and Belt and Road legal projects, giving you real-world cases. This major suits students who are sensitive to international news, enjoy logical reasoning, and are comfortable interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds. Don't worry about high English requirements—many textbooks and class discussions are in English, which actually helps you build professional English skills.
