Program Description:

Roehampton offers a distinctive suite of masters programmes in human rights. While the programmes concentrate on various discipline-specific aspects of human rights, they are also located within a broader, multidisciplinary perspective through shared modules from the suite. Through these shared modules, primarily in the first semester, students have the chance to exchange information and opinions with other students from various backgrounds. In the second semester, students will specialise in their chosen area, via dedicated modules, and students on the MA programme will further develop this specialist expertise through their dissertation.

The Human Rights and International Relations programme deals specifically with understanding the role of human rights in world politics, and involves a critical discussion of the structures and institutions of global governance. It is ideally suited to students with a background in politics or international relations wishing to focus their disciplinary knowledge on this timely and contested area of study.

Key areas of study:
