Course summary

This two-year programme is designed for postgraduates who want to make a significant contribution to the human rights agenda internationally.

On our MA Erasmus Mundus Human Rights Policy and Practice, our priority is ensuring that you graduate with a professional skillset. This incorporates;

  • Being exposed to legal, political, sociological and anthropological approaches to human rights promotion and protection in a globalised world.
  • Gaining a thorough understanding of human rights issues through using an academic multidisciplinary approach and the application of human rights theory and practice in relation to law, sociology, social anthropology, international relations, civil society and political science.
  • Being able to articulate human rights issues from a variety of perspectives, to apply theory from different fields and disciplines, to discuss and assess the strengths and weaknesses of different perspectives and critically evaluate how these perspectives can be used by different actors, agencies and stakeholders.

These three strands will enable you to make a significant contribution to the human rights agenda internationally with civil society organisations, governments, and the public and private sectors.

How you'll learn

You will start off studying at the Göteborgs universitet (Gothenburg, Sweden) from August to January, then from February to July at the Universidad de Deusto (Bilbao, Spain), and from September to December here at Roehampton. From December to June, you'll have the opportunity to study in the most appropriate country to your dissertation subject area.

You will study organisational analysis to ensure that the organisations through which you pursue human rights work are better managed. This element of the programme combines class and placement learning, which is central to the programme. The modules in this course will help you develop analytical skills and expertise in human rights perspectives, contexts, organisations, policy-making and practice.

Career options

Graduates of MA Erasmus Mundus Human Rights Policy and Practice go on to work in national and international government and non-governmental agencies, think tanks and the media.
