This programme offers a range of units suitable both for those with some previous knowledge of human rights law and for those seeking an introduction to specific human rights law issues.

The units are in the traditional fields of human rights law (eg International Law and Human Rights; Human Rights Law) but they also cover more specialist areas (Individual Employment Rights, International Law of Labour and Welfare Rights, International and European Law on Refugees and Asylum; International Criminal Law; Privacy Law: Theory and Practice).

* International Criminal Law
* International Law and Human Rights

Assessment is by examinations in the summer term. Some units are also assessed via a coursework component.

Part Two
In the Spring term, you will choose a topic for a 12,000-word dissertation within the field of Human Rights Law, for approval by the School of Law. After passing Part One, you start work on your dissertation for submission by mid-September. You must pass both parts to obtain an LLM and may not proceed to Part Two until you have passed Part One.
