Course Summary

Human rights defenders strive for a world in which human rights are respected, protected and fulfilled. In our interdisciplinary MA, you will learn to bridge the gap between theory and practice by combining hands-on experience with academic enquiry. Discover the theoretical frameworks and practical skills which make advances in human rights possible. You do not need a Law or Human Rights undergraduate degree to apply for this MA. We consider applicants for entry to this course with an undergraduate degree in the social sciences, arts and humanities, and vocational courses such as social work. These disciplines are relevant to the wide range of careers available in human rights, including research and documentation, advocacy, campaigning monitoring and evaluation, fundraising, and movement building and organisation strengthening. You’ll study different aspects of human rights practice: including leadership and the strategies employed and the debates, institutions and political structures that human rights defenders seek to influence. You'll learn directly from human rights defenders with first-hand experience in governmental, judicial, and grassroots roles. You'll also develop a range of fieldwork, advocacy and legal skills and apply these on a placement in the UK or South Africa. The Applied Human Rights MA is designed in association with the UNESCO Chair at CAHR. The Centre for Applied Human Rights is based in the Research Centre for Social Sciences on Campus West.
