Study Details: MSc 12 months full-time, 24 months part-time
The MSc Human Rights is a unique multidisciplinary programme that provides a concentrated year-long engagement with the foundations of human rights and key contemporary human rights issues.
Human rights are not just a set of legal entitlements; they also raise fundamental questions concerning political philosophy. Human rights can be studied sociologically and they are a matter of policy, intervention and practice. The programme links theory and practice in a multidisciplinary way and aims to equip you with knowledge of the key sociological, philosophical, and legal issues relevant to human rights.
During the programme, you will engage in an academically rigorous way with some of the most compelling issues in contemporary human rights. The core course is unique in linking legal, philosophical, sociological and political perspectives on human rights though a rigorous and analytical approach.
Upper second class honours (2:1) degree or equivalent in law or any social science subject, or a degree in another discipline with demonstrable interest in human rights or relevant experience as a practitioner.
