Key facts

Choose whether to study the MA or LLM pathway, giving you the unique opportunity to specialise either in sociological approaches to human rights (MA) or in legal study (LLM). Across both pathways, you will engage with international and domestic legal frameworks and the lived realities of inequality, state violence, displacement, climate breakdown and resistance.
Develop advanced critical knowledge of human rights and social justice through an interdisciplinary curriculum that brings together legal, sociological and critical theoretical perspectives.
Tailor your studies to your area of interest. On both the MA and LLM pathways, you will have access to a broad range of optional modules that can help prepare you for careers in human rights law and policy, advocacy, research, activism or doctoral study.
