Special Area Study (SAS) courses

Nominated exchange students can apply for so-called 'Special Area Study' (SAS) courses in a wide range of subjects across eight out of nine faculties at Lund University. These courses are a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about subjects outside your major. The course offerings include courses mostly focusing on one discipline as well as interdisciplinary courses tackling contemporary societal and environmental issues at different levels

The Faculty of Law offer two different SAS-courses every Autumn semester.

Introduction to International Law - SASJ02

• Bachelor level
• 7,5 ECTS

Course description

How nations act domestically and internationally is regularly influenced, and sometimes dramatically influenced, by international standards. International rules governing issues like human rights, trade, climate or the use of force in resolving disputes between countries affect the day-to-day lives of people and communities all over the world. This course is designed to provide non-lawyers with basic knowledge about the different forms that international standards can take, about how those standards are made and enforced, and above all how and why they have impacts (when they do) on what countries actually do at home and abroad.

Please note that this is not an online course, participation in class is required.
