Program Description
- A master's degree in law is a fantastic way for law graduates to develop a specialization, or for non-lawyers working in related fields to gain a deeper understanding of legal issues
- This LLM pathway is a unique course that allows students to specialize in human rights from a highly practical perspective; the focus on advocacy translates into valuable clinical skills that enable students to put their knowledge of human rights law into practice
- Students will study the core principles of human rights advocacy, rooted in knowledge of the European Convention on Human Rights, developing expertise in an increasingly vital area of law that has implications for individuals throughout the world facing discrimination and persecution
- Alongside the optional modules, students may choose to either write a 15,000-word dissertation or conduct a work-based project that will give them valuable experience in dealing with a specific legal issue in detail
- The program also offers an optional placement year, following the first year
- As such, the program will also provide ideal training for paralegals, journalists, NGO and charity workers, policy advisors, consultants, lawyers, those working in business and finance, or anyone who will benefit from a legal education in their career
