You will study a range of modules focusing on the critical aspects of sustainability, social justice, and human rights. You will explore these areas in particular contexts and have the opportunity to further develop your critical thinking and evaluation skills, research, and communication skills.
The programme concludes with a dissertation module in which you will conduct an in-depth inquiry into your chosen research topic. With the assistance of a supervisor, the dissertation module requires you to undertake independent work which may relate directly to your future career aspirations and which, in any event, reflects your particular interests from within the curriculum.
Graduates of the programme will have the knowledge and expertise required to pursue careers in various areas such as national and international charities, NGOs, local government, lobbying and policy development, communications etc. In addition, an LLM is an essential step on the road to pursuing a PhD and a career in academia.
