The LLM Gender and Human Rights draws on the established research excellence of the Transitional Justice Institute to deliver a world-leading masters programme in the field. This programme has been developed to enable students to: Gain a systematic understanding, in-depth knowledge and critical awareness of the differential experiences of women and men of human rights norms and institutions, including in conflict and post-conflict situations; • Understand foundational concepts in gender theory and their application to human rights, international law and transitional justice; • Gain knowledge and skills in carrying out research projects from design to write-up; • Enhance skills in critically appraising published and commissioned research; • Develop skills highly relevant to legal practice, and to gender policy, research and advocacy roles in the voluntary, public and private sectors in the UK, Ireland and beyond; • Successful completion may also open up a range of further study and research options.
