About the Courses
Course content
Taught over one year, the MA will familiarise you with different aspects of activism. Semester 1 introduces key theoretical and practical elements, cemented by applying your knowledge on a group placement with a human rights organisation.
In Semester 2, you'll explore international human rights law. You'll also choose three option modules, allowing you to focus your studies on an area aligned with your interests. MA Students with a Law background or those wishing to enhance their legal and advocacy skills are encouraged to consider the International Human Rights Laboratory and the Human Rights Law Clinic modules.
During Semester 2 and the summer, you'll start work on a dissertation of up to 12,000 words on a topic of your choice.
