Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in International Law of Security, Peace and Sustainable Development

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in International Law of Security, Peace and Sustainable Development (ILSPSD) is an integrated two-year master's degree program created to address complex global polycrises. Coordinated by a consortium of six European universities, the program provides students with a holistic, multidisciplinary education at the intersection of international law, security policy, human rights, and environmental sustainability. Students undertake mandatory mobility across at least three European countries during the 24-month curriculum. The coursework begins at Leuphana University of Lüneburg in Germany, moves to the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals in Spain, and allows specialization at partner institutions including the University of Glasgow, Université libre de Bruxelles, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, or the University of Tartu. The final semester centers on a research dissertation alongside optional practical work placements. Graduates acquire extensive technical knowledge, practical training through legal clinics and summer schools, and access to a global network. This program prepares future legal experts and policymakers for impactful careers within international organizations, European Union institutions, national ministries, non-governmental organizations, and global think tanks.
