Course summary

A master's degree in law is a fantastic way for law graduates to develop a specialisation, or for non-lawyers working in related fields to gain a deeper understanding of legal issues. This LLM pathway is a unique course that allows you to specialise in human rights from a highly practical perspective the focus on advocacy translates into valuable clinical skills that enable you to put your knowledge of human rights law into practice. You'll study the core principles of human rights advocacy, rooted in knowledge of the European Convention on Human Rights, developing expertise in an increasingly vital area of law that has implications for individuals throughout the world facing discrimination and persecution.Alongside the optional modules, you may choose to either write a 15,000-word dissertation or conduct a work-based project that will give you valuable experience of dealing with a specific legal issue in detail.You'll study two core taught modules - one in Human Rights Practice and Advocacy, and another in the Law and Practice of the European Convention on Human Rights - before choosing a further two optional topics from our extensive list of LLM modules. Some of the available options are also related to human rights, so you can develop your specialisation further, or opt to diversify your training with subjects from other areas of law.All our LLM courses are taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops. We extensively use problem-based learning, class discussion and case studies to ensure our teaching is brought to life, while all our lectures are issued as podcasts to give you greater access to learning resources and allow you to revisit specific classes.This pathway gives you the necessary legal and practical training to develop specialist knowledge in the growing field of human rights advocacy, with a huge amount of employment opportunities.Specialists may go on to work for organisations that promote and defend human rights (such as Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch), legal firms that practice in the area, institutions like the UN or European Court of Human Rights, as well as non-legal professions that require expertise in human rights law, including journalism and policy advice.
