Summary
Explore the ideas, struggles and global forces that shape human rights today.
The MA Human Rights at Roehampton offers a distinctive interdisciplinary approach, combining theory, law, policy and activism. You’ll examine how human rights have developed over time, how international justice systems function, and how campaigning and advocacy influence social and political change.
Human rights in the 21st century go far beyond treaties and legal frameworks. They are shaped by history, ideology, inequalities, social movements, and lived experiences. On this programme, you’ll critically explore whose rights are protected, whose are contested, and how global and local actors respond to injustice.
You’ll work alongside students from across the world as you engage with diverse and decolonial perspectives, using theory, case studies, research and practice to investigate pressing issues, from social inequality and environmental justice to conflict, migration, identity and global power.
By the end of the programme, you’ll be equipped to analyse complex human rights challenges, challenge assumptions, and contribute meaningfully to international debates and real-world social justice work.
