As a field of academic study, human rights cuts across a wide variety of disciplines. It sits at the heart of law, political science, history and theology.This programme is designed to provide you with a theoretical and practical understanding of international human rights law in its broader political context. You will be able to explore the role of human rights globally and the international and national machinery that promotes and enforces rights, while focusing on how academic debates connect to the evolution and practice of human rights.The University is home to a number of research centres and networks in the areas of justice, health, development, environment and society, and agriculture and food security. Each of these contribute to the ways in which we address crucial global challenges that span the ambit of civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights. These centres offer opportunities to further develop your understanding of different aspects of human rights or to pique your interest in new areas.
