Course Content

The LLM in International Human Rights Law is a one year full-time or two year part-time programme offered by DCUs School of Law and Government. We welcome applicants from Ireland, the EU and the wider world who are interested in international legal frameworks of human rights protection.

Students will learn about human rights, international law and how social movements and socio-legal thought and research has influenced the development of human rights law.

The programme is designed to prepare students for the 21st century, where the world needs adaptable and outward-looking critical thinkers. The LLM in International Human Rights Law offers deep insights into how the legal system views human rights and will provide students the opportunity to greatly develop their ability to analyse the importance of human rights and the harms which arise from human rights breaches.

The LLM in International Human Rights Law allows students to take a range of modules related to International law and Human Rights (see the structure section for programme structure and module choice).
