Human Rights (L2124AD)

30 credits, Level 6

Autumn teaching

On this course, you’ll explore human rights in the contemporary world, examining:

• their philosophical and historical evolution
• the forms and uses of human rights in practice
• how they are made real in different cultural and political contexts.

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, you’ll consider how politics and culture shape global human rights practices and how different groups understand, respond to and challenge these interventions.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2022/23. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
