    LLB (Hons) International Human Rights Law

    About

    Human rights lawyers and others with training in human rights law work to protect and have recognised in law the dignity and worth of the human person and ensure that those who are oppressed know that they are not alone.

    The York Law School's LLB in International Human Rights provides you with the skills and experience to confidently contribute to the struggle for social justice in the UK and around the world. You will develop as a problem solver and creative, critical thinker through a problem-based learning (PBL) approach working collaboratively to analyse real-world human rights violations and pursue remedies.

    Throughout your degree you will learn not only about the complex set of norms, institutions and processes that have been developed to protect human rights around the world but how this human rights regime can be used to produce change. You will develop your skills as a powerful written and oral communicator, coordinator and team player.
