The main goal of the MSt in International Human Rights Law is to equip students with knowledge and skills to be able to expertly and effectively apply human rights law.

Courses are taught by renowned human rights advocates and academics.
During the program students engage in two periods of distance learning. The first period is comprised of online study over two terms, during which each of the units and reading period are followed by tutor-guided seminars.
