The Master of Social Justice (Human Rights) provides students with a critical understanding of the roots of human rights violations and the tools and mechanisms deployed to promote and protect them. Students develop key skills in research, analysis, communication and advocacy applicable in domestic, regional and international contexts. The course is suited to those who wish to explore the potential power of, and challenges to, policy, advocacy, and research in human rights and humanitarianism. Teaching staff draw on high-level practical and professional experience in the fields of peace, human rights and development, and students benefit from an interdisciplinary approach that bridges multiple streams to develop a distinctive, integrated perspective on vital social justice issues.
