Course Overview

Our LLM Law with Human Rights pathway is unique in its passionate engagement with the highly contested and, at best, scandalous nature of human rights law and discourse. 

Why choose this course?

  • You will be taught by staff who are part of a proud tradition of critical scholarship in law who address issues of law through power and inequality and are led by principles of social, economic, political, environmental and racial justice.
  • This course is designed for students who need to balance study with work, family or other commitments, but wish to study in an environment led by academic staff with extensive research expertise and publications in their field.
  • Our students come from all over the world and include current and future legal practitioners, as well as practitioners from other fields, so you can look forward to a stimulating learning environment, alongside others with diverse backgrounds and professional experiences.

What you will learn

Human rights are at the interface of law, politics, sociology, philosophy and anthropology, as well as art, film and literature. During this course you will:

  • gain an understanding of the intersection between law and other societal challenges, as well as the interaction between multiple areas of law
  • learn how to transfer your understanding of complex problems and regulatory responses to different contexts
  • critically evaluate legal, regulatory and policy proposals concerning your pathway-specific challenges.

How you will learn

You will be taught via a combination of pre-recorded lectures and seminars. In lectures we offer you an outline or overview of the topic, to engage you with the material and direct you to other resources. In seminars we work together as a group engaging in discussion around the topic.

You will be able to choose between full- and part-time study on this course.  It has an evening timetable with classes taking place in the evening.
