2024 Program Update

The International Law Programs will take place in two new locations this year.  We will offer the same intensive and integrated courses in International Business Law and Public International Law, with the same exceptional team of instructors and guest lecturers. We will spend 3 weeks in Kingston and 5 weeks in Berlin, and from Berlin we will visit international organizations in Paris (IBL), The Hague (PIL), and Geneva. The overall cost will be somewhat lower than in recent years.

The programs now have a short waiting list, but we hope to be able to to make a few additional offers in the coming weeks.  If you are interested in applying please email gillian.ready@queensu.ca to register your interest, as subsequent offers will be made in the order that applications are received. 

Applicants will be kept advised by email about our plans, opportunities for financial aid and internships, and the next steps.

Email Gillian Ready at gillian.ready@queensu.ca if you have any questions.
