Summary
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 career 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.
There are three potential exit points from the course: Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and Masters. Assuming satisfactory performance, it's possible to change between these exit points. For example, a student who initially registers for the Certificate may opt to continue studying to the Diploma or Masters qualification; likewise, a student originally registered for the Masters can transfer to the Certificate or Diploma.
