University of Barcelona (Spain)
The Law Faculty of the University of Barcelona, which like the university itself dates to 1450, focuses both on law teaching and research, at national and international levels. Currently, the Law faculty offers eight bachelor’s degrees, eight university master’s degrees and over 60 UB-specific postgraduate courses, comprising UB-specific master’s degrees, specialization and postgraduate diploma courses, expert courses, two higher university courses, and 12 university extension courses. The offering is rounded out with a doctoral programme with various research areas.
The section of Public International Law, which is part of the Department of Criminal Law, Criminology, and International Relations, participates in most of such degrees and conducts basic research on contemporary international law and European Union law. Its members belong to the Consolidated Research Group (2017 SGR 1371 DIDUE) and within a general framework dedicated to the relationship between the maintenance of international peace and security, as well as between international humanitarian law and the international protection of human rights, specific research is developed on international cooperation in the field of security, disarmament, non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and export controls.
