Course Summary

This is one of the very few specialised human rights Master-level programmes embedded in practice, providing you with the necessary professional experience for a legal career in the human rights field. Taught by international experts, our LLM will give you an in-depth exploration of how legal practice can be an effective enabler of human rights globally. Our LLM Human Rights and Legal Practice is taught by experienced legal professionals and human rights activists. You'll gain a thorough understanding of the theories, issues and concepts underpinning international human rights and, crucially, how they are put into practice. By combining theory with practice, this course will give you both the skills and the knowledge you need for a career in the field of human rights practice, campaigning and advocacy.

Modules

Foundations of Human Rights - Core
This module provides a foundation for the programme as a whole, as it introduces students to the core issues and debates in the field, and to the vocabulary of human rights in theory and practice. The module begins with a critical interrogation of the idea of human rights, proceeds to discuss the emergence of the modern human rights regime and the major institutions and instruments of human rights protection, and concludes with an interrogation of some of the primary human rights concerns, which politicians, activists, legislators and academics alike need to interpret and negotiate.
