The LL.M in Human Rights Programme, established in 1999, focuses on human rights issues of global concern, including in the Asia-Pacific region, and aims to foster an active learning environment. The diverse range of courses enables students to 1) understand the international human rights legal framework, 2) reflect on key human rights challenges from global, regional, and domestic perspectives, and 3) apply their knowledge to advocate for real change.
The curriculum covers human rights law but draws on other disciplines to ensure the law is understood in context. It also has a clinical option so students can apply what they learn in practice. Teachers include renowned experts in the field from around the world. We offer full and partial competitive scholarships and have attracted students from a broad range of backgrounds including lawyers, judges, the staff of national human rights institutions and NGOs, journalists, doctors, scholars, government officials, and many others. This diversity enriches the learning experience and contributes to a vibrant international alumni network.
