International Environmental Law
Program Overview
The environment, by nature, knows no boundaries. While environmental law originally focused on local problems like local air and noise pollution, today we are confronted with severe trans-boundary and global environmental problems like the continuing loss of biodiversity, long-distance air-pollution, and the threat of climate change. This dynamic course on International Environmental Law will tackle core subjects related to the supra-nationalisation of environmental law.
The course will be structured around the following themes:
•international environmental rule-making, including compliance and enforcement
•international environmental principles
-
• human rights and environmental protection
-
• international and EU climate law, including the choice of the right regulatory instruments to steer citizen & business behaviour.
Over 3 
intensive weeks, you will attend 36 hours of classes on a range of topics related to International Environmental Law. Alongside the academic classes are a range of field trips to relevant organisations. This might include: the International Court of Justice, European Commission and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (TBC).
Based in the beautiful city of Maastricht in the Netherlands, the program is ideally located to give students not only access to a world class university, but also to all of the cultural diversity of this fantastic corner of Europe: Belgium, France and Germany are all within easy striking distance.

What past participants said about their AIM Overseas experience:
"Studying overseas is a first for me, and with the experience I had, I hope it won't be the last. Because AIM Overseas gets together a group for (a) program, I was able to meet friendly and like-minded Australians. The most rewarding part was not only the study and cultural experience I had, but it was sharing those experiences with the friends that I made over there."
