The Law of Armed Conflict course at Stanmore School of Business was a great opportunity for me to learn about the legal framework that governs armed conflicts. The course was well-structured, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. I appreciated the examples of how the law is applied in different scenarios, such as the protection of civilians and the conduct of hostilities. The instructors were approachable and provided constructive feedback on our assignments. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, but I think it could benefit from more interactive elements, such as discussions and group work.

The Law of Armed Conflict course at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience for me. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the history of international humanitarian law to the challenges of applying the law in modern conflicts. I appreciated the detailed analysis of the law and its application in different contexts. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided helpful feedback on our assignments. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more Asian perspectives and case studies, as the course materials were heavily focused on Western examples. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others interested in international law and conflict studies.
