| Contenido |
LLM students must complete the following 3 compulsory modules:
- Foundations of International Human Rights Law (30 credit points): This module is designed to provide students with a sophisticated analysis of the legal and political structures governing human rights law and its enforcement at the international level.
- Foundations of Transitional Justice (30 credit points): This module aims to provide students with an in-depth analysis of the emerging field of ‘transitional justice’. Students will relate the dilemmas of societies in transition from violent conflict and/or authoritarian regimes to the imperatives of international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
- Dissertation (60 credit points): The completion of a 15,000 word dissertation provides students with an opportunity to further pursue their own research interests, and to produce an original and theoretically-informed piece of work of publishable standard which relates to issues studied in at least one of the taught modules. |
