This MA Human Rights course is ideal if you want to study the political, legal and ethical challenges raised by widespread human rights violations globally. The course provides you with an advanced, critical, interdisciplinary and systematic understanding of human rights issues within a global context. It’s designed to give you insight into developments in international politics, political theory and law, so you can better understand the complex global environment in which human rights claims are made. The central focus of the course addresses pressing human rights questions through compulsory course units and a wide range of optional choices. Mandatory units include Research Design and Skills, Human Rights in World Politics and a 60-credit dissertation. Optional course units reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the course, covering highly debated questions from the ethics of killing, gender inequalities and security across international contexts. This course is ideal if you are interested in a career in government, NGOs, international organisations, education, journalism or any role where advanced knowledge of human rights and the ability to communicate it effectively is essential.
