The MSc Human Rights programme offers a concentrated, twelve-month engagement with ‎human rights. The core course 'Approaches to Human Rights' provides students with an ‎overview of the various philosophical, sociological and legal approaches to the subject. The ‎core course is designed to give a strong intellectual underpinning to the MSc, which is then built ‎on further through the choice of optional courses and dissertation subject which each student ‎makes.  
In 2016/17 the scholarship has a value of £30,000 which will cover the tuition fee of £20,736 ‎with the remainder available to support living expenses.‎

Eligible applicants ‎will be required to submit a personal statement in which they should explain how they ‎meet the criteria set out for the Scholarship and how they envisage putting their study ‎programme to practical use.‎
