Overview
You will develop an appreciation of how international law intervenes to protect human rights and where gaps exist in international law.
We enable you intellectually to examine international human rights from various perspectives including the prosecution of international criminals, war and minority protection.
The International Human Rights programme from City, University of London also covers how the law of war protects the civilian and how far the rights of indigenous peoples are safeguarded by international law.
Career
The specialist International Human Rights LLM will enhance your prospects for a career in human rights or policy.
You will graduate with a strong set of relevant skills and be well positioned for a diverse range of legal and non-legal careers. You could work:
- in private practice
- in-house at a law firm
- in policy and government
- in non-governmental organisations
- in non-legal careers.
Programme Structure

- All modules are of the same duration and are taught per term (September – December or January – April) rather than the whole academic year.
