This programme provides a bridge from undergraduate level studies (or equivalent professional experience) to research, focusing on a distinct although relatively broad specialism.

The core modules, combined with appropriate optional modules, lay a strong foundation in the basics of international human rights, humanitarian law (armed conflict), and the law relating to terrorism. The coursework develops your research skills, and ensures a solid knowledge basis is established for the dissertation, which is the main assessed component of the programme. Graduates completing the programme are equipped to engage in more specialised practical or academic research in this field.
