Course summary

The Human Rights LLM pathway is unique in its passionate engagement with the highly contested and at best scandalous nature of human rights law and discourse.

Human rights are at the interface of law, politics, sociology, philosophy, anthropology - as well as art, film and literature.

Our students include current and future legal practitioners, but also students from other fields; and they come from all over the world.

A compelling aspect of a number of our modules is that they are taught with leading NGOs and grassroots activists, opening up a wealth of possibilities working in civil society, as well as in legal practice, government, international and community organisations
