Human Rights Law LLM

The Human Rights Law LLM programme provides you with advanced academic and practical knowledge about human rights law, at the international, regional, and domestic levels. Modules for this programme cover a wide range of issues, such as humanitarian law, children's rights, migrant rights, women's rights, socio-economic rights, and the crimes of the powerful. You will be introduced to relevant legal institutions, norms, and case law, as well as to cutting-edge theories and critical debates.

As part of this programme, you will attend a range of activities including the evening and lunchtime guest lectures, while benefiting from the proximity to many major human rights organisations and research institutes based in London.

Our Human Rights Law Centre is the first association between a university and a non-governmental organisation, established to provide scholarly expertise, research, and teaching on national and international human rights law.

Please note you can request to change programme at offer stage via your admissions portal and also request this after enrolment via the School of Law Taught Programme office.
