For those who have a professional and/or academic interest in our evolving human rights culture, Strathclyde’s long-standing, esteemed human rights programme provides an opportunity to develop deep knowledge and skills alongside an approachable team of academics, legal practitioners and policy experts.
Law is at the heart of human rights frameworks and approaches. In this course, graduates in law and other disciplines, or those with relevant professional qualifications, will be supported to develop a detailed understanding of how human rights law operates at UK, European and international levels, and to explore the far-reaching impact of human rights law on society.
Previous students have been active in our human rights community. They have organised activities including film screenings, organised seminars with invited speakers on topics from human rights in the media to international crimes, volunteered at local civil society conferences, attended human rights careers events, conducted research for and with Strathclyde Law School staff, conducted research as part of university-wide collaborations and with students from Strathclyde’s renowned Law Clinic.
First-class or Second-class Honours degree, or international equivalent, in any discipline (some law content is recommended). Entry may be possible with other qualifications, especially where the applicant has relevant work experience.
We work closely with the University's Careers Service. They offer advice and guidance on career planning and looking for and applying for jobs. In addition, they administer and publicise graduate and work experience opportunities.
Our graduates can, and have progressed to research studies such as MPhil and PhD in Human Rights Law leading to an academic career.
Students may also go on to work with international non-governmental organisations in the area of human rights advocacy, practice and promotion.
