Human Rights Law - LLM

Engage in theoretical and practical elements relating to human rights and social justice. You’ll develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to transform people’s lives for the better. These courses are distance learning courses with some opportunity for online teaching activity but it is primarily independent distance learning. These courses give you the freedom to learn from wherever you are in the world. We offer this programme as either a LLM (Master of Laws), postgraduate diploma or postgraduate certificate. Explore human rights from an international, socio-economic and political perspective. Plus, have the opportunity to learn about the historic development of human rights and also explore current issues such as environmental social justice. These courses build your understanding of legal concepts that govern individual and collective rights and responsibilities, including the constraints the state may place on a person’s human rights. Designed to provide an in-depth investigation into the legal aspects affecting human rights, you’ll learn about the legal framework of these rights, the concept of social justice and the need for mutual human respect on a global and local scale.

You’ll be required to have: a minimum of a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate degree in a relevant subject such as law and human rights (or an equivalent international qualification).
