MA Human Rights

Building on the research expertise of the Department of Sociology, this course offers advanced inter-disciplinary study for those who wish to understand human rights in a rapidly changing global context.

The last decade has seen a large increase in the demand for human rights expertise as the UN, nation states, regional political actors, NGOs and multi-national corporations have increased their sensitivity to and interest in human rights. The course equips students with the theoretical knowledge, practical research skills and substantive expertise necessary to be effective human rights policy makers; researchers with government departments and inter-governmental organisations; and advocates and evaluators working for a range of specialist NGOs and allied groups.

Our London location is of vital importance to the human rights course. This vibrant cosmopolitan metropolis is a key centre for human rights activity; indeed Amnesty International’s office is situated close to the campus, and is therefore an ideal place to pursue specialist study in human rights and related fields.
