International opportunities
We offer our students a number of opportunities to gain legal knowledge from an international perspective. We also offer Global Summer Schools for international and UK-based students who have completed at least one year of undergraduate studies. Our summer schools give students the opportunity to make friends from across the world, and to experience studying law at NTU. Everyone in the Law School has the chance to take part in our International Summer School Scheme and get a real taste of the profession from a European perspective. Each of our week-long courses has a different legal focus, and whether you want to explore criminal justice in Berlin, human rights in Strasbourg or international humanitarian law or sports law Geneva, there’s something for every area of interest. Alongside a series of inspiring legal lectures, each summer school features a range of trips and social activities with students from our partner universities, as well as the time to explore the cities you visit.
Study abroad Our student exchange agreement with Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia gives two students the opportunity to study there for one semester between February and July. We are also a member of the International Student Exchange Programme (ISEP), an American organisation specialising in student exchanges between universities across the world. We offer competitive scholarships (the Community Travel Scholarship Scheme), which can be used by students to fund pro bono internships both in the UK and abroad. In past years, students have used the scheme to fund placements with non-governmental organisations in Kerala, Southern India, California, and elsewhere in the USA. The experience gained can be used as part of the Year Three “Law in Practice”module.
“NTU provides plenty of opportunities to travel and gain experience abroad. Summer Schools are one way of travelling whilst at university, and can really enhance your employability.”
