Human Rights Law LLM

Law and human rights have a complex relationship. On the one hand, law can help promote and protect human rights. On the other hand, law can facilitate the denial of human rights. In fact, legal norms of human rights are far from perfect: they can be a force for good, for bad, or both. This LLM will provide you with an advanced theoretical and empirical understanding of human rights at the international, regional, and domestic legal levels.

  • Modules covering a broad range of areas at the forefront of human rights law, utilising both doctrinal and critical academic knowledge to examine both the benefits and the difficulties of enforcing this body of law.
  • Be taught by world-leading experts with extensive knowledge of human rights law.
  • Gain invaluable skills for research and practice in law and human rights.
  • Tailor this course to align with your career trajectory, benefitting from our wide range of elective modules.
  • Study alongside students with interest and experience in human rights and law from more than 80 countries, providing a uniquely expansive and diverse professional network.
