This LLM provides students with an opportunity to gain an in-depth appreciation of global human rights standards and the interrelationship between international standards and national practice. In particular, we consider ways in which human rights could be protected more effectively so that people everywhere can realize their full human dignity.

The focus is on international and comparative human rights law (including at regional levels in Europe, Africa and the Americas). The School’s joint expertise is harnessed so as to provide a vibrant and relevant course which will stimulate the hearts as well as the minds of students.
