Master in Human Rights Law Llm

At London Metropolitan University, tuition is £8,000 per year (if you require a student visa you will not be able to study on a part-time basis).

Engaging with the shifting boundaries of global justice, the Human Rights Law LLM invites students to explore the legal frameworks that govern individual and collective rights. Whether analyzing the implications of environmental social justice or examining the historic development of human rights law, the programme challenges participants to think critically about the relationship between the state and the citizen. The curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between abstract legal theory and its practical application, making it a highly relevant pursuit for both legal practitioners and professionals in fields such as journalism, international relations, policy advising, or charity work.

A Flexible, Global Learning Environment

Delivered via distance learning, this programme offers the freedom to study from anywhere in the world, ensuring accessibility for international students and working professionals alike. The faculty comprises lecturers with a dual background in academic research and legal practice, providing a grounded perspective on the legal constraints and protections that shape human rights. Students have the unique opportunity to tailor their focus through an individual dissertation, where they can critically analyze a chosen legal area, or alternatively, pursue an experiential learning project that integrates professional skills directly into a work-based context.
