Course Overview

This course is specifically aimed at international students, supporting those wishing to gain practical work-based experiential learning. Together with studying your chosen course, we are offering an additional 6-month placement opportunity, making the course 18 months in length. This allows students to put into practice the skills and techniques developed throughout the Masters degree within a UK environment after completing the 12-month taught program. This course has a key focus on how national, regional, and international initiatives regulate the ever-changing dynamics of financial and cultural globalization, including how these affect respect for human rights in contemporary society.
