Human rights

What are human rights? Are human rights culturally relative? How can human rights be justified? In this major these complex notions will be brought to the fore in the contemporary contexts of global poverty, unequal access to medicine, refugees, terrorism, warfare, children's rights, humanitarian intervention, torture and surveillance.

As a student of Human rights you will acquire strong analytic abilities and communication skills, and will have expertise in areas that are of relevance to employers in a diverse range of professions, from non-government organisations (NGOs) to the public service.
