Overview
Using the local Northern Ireland political and legal context as a starting point the course will imbue students with a working knowledge of international norms and principles, while at the same time encouraging students to move beyond the local to reflect critically on present international law norms and their application to other situations and contexts.
Students are encouraged to develop and transfer knowledge, experience and expertise of the transformative possibilities of human rights law both in respect of societies emerging from violent conflict and in relation to the local and global management of other particular societal problems.
This dual focus – from the local to the global and back - is a core part of the Human Rights Law and Transitional Justice (Part-time) programme offered from Ulster University's aim to equip you with the knowledge and skills base to contribute internationally as well as locally.
Career options
Previous graduates have gone onto positions in the local human rights sector and public sector in Northern Ireland, to legal practice in areas related to the LLM and to PhD research.
