Why should I choose this programme?

We live in a rapidly changing, inter-connected world. While the processes of globalisation have a positive impact on economic development, the more challenging consequences cannot be neglected.

Increasingly the debate about respecting human rights moved from the fringes of world affairs to centre stage.

This programme is aimed at students who care deeply about human rights and are passionate about improving the state of human rights around the world, even making it their career path.

Key skills, aims and objectives

Become familiar with the history of, and current practices in, human rights frameworks and legal norms
Critically analyse theories, concepts, and ideas in human rights
Understand major human rights issues, past and present
Evaluate the potential solutions to human rights abuses, including the work of transnational operators
Comprehend the quantitative and qualitative methods of, and the ethical issues involved in, human rights research

Future opportunities

Studying international human rights opens the door to diverse career opportunities, including within governments.

Additionally, there is enormous growth of non-governmental organisations and international non-governmental organisations that specialise in different aspects of human rights, and which employ human rights experts.

Other areas of growth are corporate social responsibility and public relations within the business community, both of which require human rights expertise.
