LLM Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

After the economic crisis and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, are you concerned about the impacts of austerity and public health measures on economic, social and cultural rights? Are you interested in public policies and laws – on health, education, housing or food security – and how human rights can make a difference?

Our ground-breaking LLM Economic, Social and Cultural Rights builds on our distinctive expertise and reputation of working on the protection of economic, social and cultural rights in countries around the world and at the United Nations.

We combine cutting-edge scholarship and practice on the legal aspects of realising economic, social and cultural rights, with the latest thinking in the implementation of these rights. The course focuses on:

• International human rights law protections of economic, social and cultural rights
• How human rights law is developed through public policy and practice
• New tools and methodologies for achieving these rights

We include a range of key law courses to enable our non-law students to develop an understanding of human rights, public international, constitutional and administrative law.

This course is also available on a part-time basis.
