LLM Human Rights and Legal Practice

University of Roehampton

Few specialised human-rights master’s programmes are embedded in legal practice the way the LLM Human Rights and Legal Practice describes itself. Teaching by experienced legal professionals and human rights activists aims at theory plus how rights are put into practice. Full-time and part-time weekday study is listed in London. Face contemporary legal issues in international human rights rather than a general international-trade LLM brief. AF Education presents this for England-resident UK home students seeking postgraduate law study with a practice emphasis. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with a Postgraduate Master’s Loan from Student Finance England.

Face the legal issues in international human rights today.

Our LLM Human Rights and Legal Practice is taught by experienced legal professionals and human rights activists.

You'll gain a thorough understanding of the theories, issues and concepts underpinning international human rights and, crucially, how they are put into practice.

By combining theory with practice, this course will give you both the skills and the knowledge you need for a career in the field of human rights practice, campaigning and advocacy.

Suitable for legal practitioners, aspiring legal professionals and human rights activists, this course will enable you to develop your skills in:

  • Research and analysis
  • Strategic litigation
  • Project management
  • Advocacy and campaigning skills within the field of human rights.

Problem-based and interactive learning methodologies will enable you to master key concepts and instil the ability to learn from experience, absorb and integrate new information, and act strategically.

We'll give you a strong academic grounding as well as the practical and vocational legal skills required for legal practice in the human rights field.

With the human rights sector becoming increasingly competitive, employers are now asking for some experience as a prerequisite. London is one of the world centres for this sort of career, with most international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) having their headquarters here.
