The one year LLM in International Human Rights Law will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the current legal issues that arise with respect to the protection of human rights at the domestic, regional and international levels and of the characteristic types of legal solutions adopted at all these different levels. It has been developed to allow you to construct a programme appropriate to private practice, corporate or public employment in the field of international human rights law, including international humanitarian law and international criminal law.

Modules are taught through small seminars, enabling all involved to actively engage in discussions and debates and for contributions of staff and students to be well-balanced. The School provides excellent facilties and support including teaching from academics who are experts in the field, a personal tutor and student-staff liaison committee and our Lasok Law Library which is officially recognised by the European Commission as a European Documentation Centre.

Entry requirements Normally a reasonably good Law degree and a sound understanding of the basic principles of public and private law. We are happy to consider students with qualifications or degrees other than in Law, e.g. Accountancy or Business Studies, if those qualifications include a substantial legal element.
