Master of Arts in Human Rights
Program Overview
What are ‘human rights’ and where do they come from? Are human rights effectively protected by national and international reporting and judicial mechanisms? Are human rights NGOs and campaigners accountable and legitimate? These are just some of the questions you will consider on our LLM/MA Human Rights.
This LLM/MA Human Rights course focuses on your critical engagement with the theory and practice of human rights, as a highly contested ideology and as an increasingly complex set of national and international laws and institutional mechanisms.
You will study human rights in their legal, political, sociological, anthropological and philosophical contexts. You will explore topics including:
- the historical and philosophical development of modern human rights
- theoretical and practical critiques of the human rights system
- the relationship between human rights and equality law
- the relationship between race, migration and colonialism
- gender violence
- the global war on drugs
- contemporary issues in asylum and other public international law areas.
You will also have the opportunity to work on a live case at the European Court of European Rights, including drafting exercises, with a leading NGO through one of our optional modules.
We take pride in offering you this exciting and innovative degree, which is one of the leading master’s programmes on human rights in the UK. Our graduates go on to work successfully in NGOs, in European and other institutions worldwide, and in government and legal practice. You will be taught by specialists in their fields including in legal anthropology, legal practice, feminist legal theory, critical race theory, Marxist approaches, and psychoanalytical approaches to the study of human rights.
