The MA focuses on the use of rights discourse and tools within the human rights mainstream and in a range of related fields (development, humanitarianism, conflict transformation, the environment, public health etc.).
As such, it is designed for practitioners and would-be practitioners across this spectrum who wish to engage with applied human rights.
Why choose the MA at York?
"It is amazing being with people from such diverse backgrounds and experiences. There is so much to learn from the programme and the students. I have felt, just from the first few weeks, that the professors really care about your passions, and through the South Africa placement and assessments you can really decide how you want to make your mark in the human rights field."
Laura Jones, United States, MA in Applied Human Rights 2012/13
Our MA in Applied Human Rights is distinctive in five main ways:
MA structure
The MA structure has three components: compulsory modules, and an inner and outer ring of options. In total, students need to complete five modules (two compulsory, in the first term; one compulsory, running over two terms; two options in the second term). A dissertation will fulfill the requirements for an MA. This structure has been chosen so as to maximize the choice available to students, but to guide the selection process in a constructive way eg: indicating where modules are practice-based and where they are not.
Continuous assessment of applied skills is a feature of the programme.
