Bachelor of Law in Human Rights

Program Overview

The study of Human Rights often transcends national boundaries and may sometimes conflict with individual States' notions of what should be protected as a right.

This degree can be both rewarding and challenging, and if you want to make a difference in the world, a degree in Human Rights can lead to a fulfilling career.
