Description
The human rights specialisation provides students with an understanding of how human rights apply in various political, social, economic and environmental contexts. The specialisation allows them to develop critical skills in the effective use of human rights tools and language to achieve specific changes in the world while gaining skills to apply to real situations and create workable solutions. This specialisation addresses rights violations at the local, national, regional and global levels, combining social, scientific and legal approaches to provide a holistic perspective on human rights and social change.
