This year saw Sussex Law School’s LLM students take a trip to Switzerland, where they headed south for the inaugural Geneva Study Visit.
During their stay, students visited six international organisations that focus on trade, investment, environment and intellectual property law – among them the World Trade Organisation, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Centre for Trade and Development, and the World Intellectual Property Organisation.
Each of the organisations delivered presentations that were targeted to the specific interests of the students, who relished the opportunity to pose questions to bodies they had studied as part of the LLM.
While in Geneva, students also had the opportunity to tour the UN Headquarters at the Palais des Nations, as well as explore Lake Geneva by boat and enjoy a picnic in the sun in the lakefront Botanical Gardens.
It is hoped that the success of the trip will be replicated next year, when Sussex Law School will return to Geneva with a new intake of LLM students.
