General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The aim of the programme is to train future lawyers and other participants on how to effectively use the law when it comes to contemporary matters of global security. Participants will be exposed to relevant domains of law and how to apply these with appropriate legal skills, including information analysis, legal research, and communication, and also what strategic, ethical, and other competencies should be used in addressing matters of global security. The wider national regional and international role and relevance of the law when it comes to global security will be considered.
Learning outcomes:
• Aptitude to interpret and use appropriate legal and global security terminology, concepts, principles, norms, and theoretical knowledge to advise, analyse and assess different scenarios.
• Proficiency to compare and assess evidence and the law, identify and contrast relevant legal and non-legal issues, appreciate areas of research, and guide stakeholders on the different routes and remedies available, including dispute resolution and other methods
• Knowhow to strategically plan and choose research based upon key goals, drawing upon appropriate legal and non-legal sources and various qualitative and quantitative methods.
• Proficiency to locate, recall and compare key issues and trends within global security and where to go to for appropriate research.
• Knowhow to recount and use ethics and different means of regulation that apply within global security and conflict situations, and practice honesty, transparency, and integrity in all forms of conduct.

• Capability to review and manage factors that may represent an impediment to understanding problems, such as cyber, hybrid, and other asymmetric threats, including disinformation campaigns, and the malicious use of ever-more sophisticated emerging and disruptive technologies.
• Capability to identify, evaluate and communicate pertinent issues in different forms, including written and oral, using effective strategies and tactics.
• Proficiency to work with others in a structured, collaborative, and reflective manner.
• Ability to conduct independent, goal-led, and relevant research in a global security context, comparing and synthesising existing and newly found materials.
• Aptitude to apply technology and other forms of literacy and analytical and critical thinking to global security work, plan and appraise progressively about career, and undertake relevant crisis, stress, and action planning.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Teaching and learning activities are focused on the students. In principle, activities could be divided into such groups, i.e activities aimed at (1) acquiring students' academic knowledge (including both academic lectures and student's independent work, etc.), (2) developing students' cooperation skills in a social environment (these activities are mainly based on group work), (3) acquiring students' discussion knowledge, (4) developing students' ability to solve independent problems (teaching activities are based on problem solving during practical classes and independent work), (5) developing students' critical thinking (based on students' insights) and (6) reflection - emphasis on teacher and student feedback.

Distinctive features of a study
programme:
The program will be experiential, seeking to build on the competencies that participants, teaching experts and programme partners will bring with them. It is expressly recognised that today ‘s students now come to university education with a strong set of skills, such as technology, fact finding and synthesis. This programme will build from this denominator. A series of flexible teaching means will be employed that will build upon the different strengths learners have, such as role plays, simulations and problem solving, so that the law and legal skills are learnt to participants ‘s core needs and strengths. As such, the programme will draw on a diverse range of interactive and engaging pedagogies. Its means of teaching will be its strengths, recognising different learning styles. There will be text based, kinaesthetic such as mooting and advocacy, auditory through quizzes and talks, visual through videos and gamification. Soft skills will complement legal skills and be fundamental to the delivery of the programme. Professionalism, independence, ethics, written and verbal communication, teamwork, reflection, time management, technology, creative problem solving, thorough attention to detail, situational awareness, resilience, empathy, agility, and strong leadership skills will underpin all courses, as will the Law School ‘s ethos and values of education for a quality life. The programme will be organic and contemporary, drawing upon real life global security issues of the time as case studies. There is much insecurity at the moment and the programme has a strong value proposition. It tutors are leaders in the field, all with a passion for global security – and will incorporate their practical insight and wisdom in providing careers guidance to students. There will be a strong practical emphasis in the programme, with tutors providing careers advice. Recognising the central role that technology now plays in global security, the programme leaders will incorporate considerations of technology, such as the AI, the blockchain and crypto currency. Students will look at the growing role of technology. Keeping with the practical approach, the programme leaders will look to partner and bring in international and national experiences for students, including internship experience and mobility opportunities. The programme will be in English.

Access to professional activity:
Graduates of this programme will be able to work in international and national institutions dealing with national and global security issues in both the public and private sectors, particularly in the areas of human rights, compliance, anti-money laundering, energy and other forms of security. Lawyers work in numerous areas of global security, at the international, regional, and national level. For example, they work for the various organs of the United Nations, whose primary function is to oversee global peace and security. The Council of Europe has lawyers who are concerned with the protection and advancement of security-related human rights, such as the prohibition against torture – and lawyers work at the national level to advance security, such as freedom from want and social welfare. All such occupations are underpinned by legal frameworks that lawyers need to understand, interpret, and strategically apply, and this programme covers such training. Diplomats, too, need to understand matters of global security, such as what route to take in order to ensure a fair-trade system. Diplomats need to have an awareness of various legal frameworks that have been designed to maintain international fairness and the international order, and this programme will cover the legal foundations of the international rule of law and how to apply soft and other skills that will be relevant for diplomats. The same will apply to those who want to understand the stable world order for international trade in international business. Those wanting to work for companies and in the private sector will also benefit from this programme. Companies operating in other jurisdictions will want to know what legal avenues are open to them in case there is a dispute, such as economic frameworks and investor state disputes concerning another state. We have recently seen an increase in data protection laws that have affect the private sector, such as the GDPR. Technology companies are entering the global security space to provide tools and systems to monitor global security and the programme will benefit those seeking to understand and build global security LawTech. Many international NGOs work in the field of global security. Human Rights Watch, for instance, is a prominent one. They play an important role in monitoring and preventing human rights violation, not just civil and political ones, but also rights that are relevant to security such as food and shelter. This course will train those who want to enter into NGOs on the various legal framework and obligations of states when it comes to security and also on key skills like communication and advocacy. It will also aid journalists in holding states to legal account when it comes to their security obligations. Journalists will learn about relevant legal frameworks, principles of proof and evidence, and how to fact find to decide if a state may have violated its obligations. This is a practical course with a heavy emphasis on legal knowledge, legal skills, and soft skills when it comes to the law. All of these will be of value to the profiles mentioned above but will also be applicable and valuable to many other sectors too. They are all transferable skills.
