  2. Look at the Masters program timetable to see when courses are offered and which specialisations they are relevant for.
  3. Check that you meet the prerequisites for the course.

Principles of International Law

LAWS8182 Principles of International Law is a compulsory course in this program and also a prerequisite to all of the international law courses and therefore should be one of the first courses you complete.
