International Human Rights Law LLB

Our distinctive course integrates the core legal curriculum with the development of skills required in the practice of human rights. The core modules include a series of Foundations modules which cover the core areas of English law and academic skills as defined by professional bodies. There are also core legal skills modules which you will develop key skills applied by human rights lawyers in practice.

Our range of option modules allow you to develop an individual learning pathway to reflect your career interest, focusing on a particular human rights issue or developing expertise in another field of law. At the core of the degree are modules focused on the practice of human rights law which allow you to work on advocacy and litigation with leading human rights organisations, and develop your skills in real cases as part of our clinic. You can focus your final year on particular issues or themes through your option modules, and choice of topics in your advanced law project module and case study module.
