Master of Studies in International Human Rights Law

The Master of Studies in International Human Rights Law in Law and Legal Studies is offered by University of Oxford.

Program Length: 2 YEARS.

The University of Oxford's Master's in International Human Rights Law is a part-time degree offered over two academic years, involving a combination of distance learning and summer residencies. It is offered jointly by the Department for Continuing Education and the Faculty of Law.
The course is designed in particular for lawyers as well as other (non-law) human rights advocates who wish to pursue advanced studies in international human rights law but may need to do so alongside work and/or care responsibilities.It is aimed at developing an understanding of the principles and institutions of international human rights law, including their origins, assumptions, contents, limits and potential. It encourages students to think analytically about the implementation and development of international human rights law, to conduct research, and to apply this body of law in their own professional setting and context. It thus puts equal emphasis on the theory, doctrine and practice of human rights law.

The course is an invaluable opportunity to be a part of a vibrant and diverse community of human rights scholars and practitioners from over 90 countries around the world. It provides an institutional framework for cross-national and cross-sectoral professional collaborations and exchange of information within the human rights discourse.
