International Programs

The UNC School of Law offers a number of opportunities for students interested in international law to enhance their legal education through both overseas exchange and study abroad programs and sponsored international law-related events here at UNC. The UNC Exchange Programs are open only to students of the UNC School of Law. Non-UNC law students may attend our summer program in Sydney, Australia.

The School of Law also offers a Visiting Scholars and Visiting Researchers Program for foreign legal scholars who have already completed their legal education and wish to conduct research at UNC.
