On the LLB Law and Human Rights, you will gain skills, knowledge, insight and experience from our expert academics and practitioners in the fields of human rights and public law. The world of human rights is vast and changing quickly. At the start of this degree, you will study the introductory human rights course that covers basic principles, treaties and cases in the area of human rights. Then you will study more advanced modules on specific topics such as migration, medical ethics, immigration, international law, labour law, political violence, social welfare and armed conflict, among others. You may also choose to complete your final research project on a topic of human rights. In addition to foundational legal reasoning skills, on this human rights-focused law degree you will also develop:

  • knowledge of the relationship between national and international laws
  • an understanding of what it may mean in practice to have to balance conflicting concepts of justice
  • the ability to assess the wider social, historical and political dimensions of rights-based social movements.

The LLB Law and Human Rights is ideal if you have a keen interest in the role of law in the pursuit of global justice. Human rights is also a sub-field of study that is highly relevant to the domestic practice of law.

Teaching on this LLB Law and Human Rights is very flexible to respond to the needs of our students - depending on the module, we offer classes in the daytime, evening, on campus or online.

This course has an evening timetable with lectures, seminars and classes taking place in the evening. Some daytime and online teaching is available, depending on the modules you choose.
