International Politics and Human Rights MA

Explore how human rights have transformed the world we live in. You will reflect on why daily violations of human rights continue and consider what you can do about it. Our globally respected Masters in International Politics and Human Rights is designed to improve your capacity to critically evaluate the international system and the ways in which human rights are (or are not) protected. During this International Politics and Human Rights MA, you will develop theoretical and practical knowledge of human rights, and how they have shape the world we live in. We help you to unpick complex concepts that shape our understanding of the world and identify their impact on global events. This is a constantly evolving subject in a rapidly changing world. As such you will explore unique specialisms supported by up to the minute research. You will graduate with the ability to undertake in-depth research, confidently challenge explanations of social and political life, and evaluate international relationships between major bodies including governments and transnational networks.

A lower second-class (2.2) honours (or equivalent) degree in any subject. However, we also welcome applications from those with substantial experience in human rights organisations, NGOs, social services, journalism and other related sectors.
