The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in International Law of Security, Peace and Sustainable Development (ILSPSD) is a 24-month full-time programme with an October intake. This is the second intake (2027–2029). It combines international law with politics, sustainability and security studies, and involves six European degree-awarding institutions and a network of 30 associate partners.

- The programme starts at Leuphana University of Lüneburg with International Law of Security, Peace and Sustainable Development (LL.M. or M.A. track).
- Students then move to the Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) for Theories of International Security.
- They then specialise in one of four tracks: International Law and International Security (University of Glasgow), Security and Conflict (Université libre de Bruxelles), Globalization, Law and Security (Universidade NOVA de Lisboa), International Law and Human Rights (University of Tartu).
- The final semester is devoted to a research dissertation and an optional work placement.
The programme includes summer schools, legal clinics, guest lectures and direct interaction with practitioners.
