| Objectives |
The graduate diploma and graduate certificate explore what it means to build a culture and practice of human rights, and how to apply a human rights framework in your professional life. They will assist you to develop and test tools and approaches and understand the steps necessary to bring about changes in practice, behaviour and structures. You will integrate learning directly into the work you are doing. The development of these postgraduate programs has been informed by the strong partnerships the Australian Centre for Human Rights Education has developed with key government and non-government agencies. The programs are designed for professional development, academic interest, and for entry into the rapidly expanding human rights field. The area of human rights is inherently interesting due to its multi-faceted nature and multi-disciplinary approach to solving many contemporary problems. It is anticipated that there will be high demand for graduates of this program. Prospective students may be motivated by a desire to improve human rights in their existing professional environments, to move into a more exciting and challenging career, or a combination of both. |
