For those who have a professional and academic interest in our evolving human rights culture, Strathclyde’s long-standing 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 human rights law at the UK, European and international levels and to explore the impact of human rights law on society.
An innovative feature of the programme is the opportunity, offered on a competitive basis, to undertake a credit-bearing field dissertation.
Benefit from, and have the opportunity to contribute to, the work of the Centre for the Study of Human Rights Law, the only academic centre of its kind in Scotland.
The course has three potential exit points: 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 for the Diploma or Masters's qualification; likewise, a student who originally wrote for the master's can transfer to the Certificate or Diploma.
