Bachelor of Human Rights
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationHuman rights have become the dominant language used to debate contentious social and political questions on a global scale. Activists appeal to human rights in defence of the oppressed. A complex set of global institutions has evolved, centred around human rights, while a flourishing field of academic inquiry is now devoted to debating human rights issues.
Our Bachelor of Human Rights is a unique, interdisciplinary program of study that equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage with real-world issues in human rights, and related areas such as social justice. You'll examine these ideas from a variety of perspectives; legal, historical, political, practical, and philosophical. You'll also gain invaluable analytical skills essential for success in the workplace.
