Legal globalisation engenders processes by which different bodies of law become increasingly interconnected and interdependent, thereby crossing traditional borders. Globalisation has brought about a situation where lawyers are now required to grapple with national, international, European, and transnational laws when they apply norms. This programme helps to develop the skills to understand and deal with the challenges of globalising law. Students will complete the degree of Master of International and Comparative Law (MICL).

The Master’s Programme in Global Governance Law (GGL) is a two-year research-oriented Master´s programme where you will become an internationally-oriented professional well-qualified for a career in international organisations, legal practice, various expert positions in public sector as well as legal academia both in Finland and abroad.
