Studying on this programme gives you an opportunity to complete a qualifying law degree while also focusing on campaigning and educational aspects of human rights. As well as fulfilling the requirements of students who wish to train towards general legal practice, the LLB Law with Human Rights is especially suitable for students interested in pursuing a career in one of the many rights-related organisations to be found in the UK and internationally (e.g. NGOs and charities, as well as other civil society bodies, specialising in advocacy, protection, public information and education).

For students primarily interested in a career in legal practice, this course fulfils the standard undergraduate degree requirement for progressing to professional qualification as a barrister or solicitor. Alongside this established career track, the programme equips graduates with more nuanced understanding of the connection between legal systems and political structures, including structures of inequality and moments of opportunity. Students who complete the programme are well prepared for pursuing career options in legal practice and in the criminal justice system, as well for employment in national and international policy setting, in commentating professions such as journalism, and in advocacy roles within and beyond the legal profession.
