Choosing the LLM in Human Rights Law means being challenged and inspired by academics from the Human Rights Implementation Centre, globally renowned for its groundbreaking research and work across the world. The Centre offers many opportunities for students to gain knowledge and experience in human rights law and practice, including participation in the Human Rights Law Clinic.

The intellectually demanding, research-rich curriculum we deliver makes our graduates stand out, able to demonstrate excellent legal, analytical and research skills. Our students go on to act as solicitors, barristers, lawyers and researchers in international and European organisations, such as the United Nations or the European Commission. A number work for governments, NGOs and other agencies. Some graduates go on to further study or research.
