Human Rights Law

Oxford Brookes University has opted into the TEF and received a Silver award.

The LLM in Human Rights Law offers you the opportunity to gain a critical understanding of the history and theoretical underpinnings of international human rights, international and regional human rights systems, and the practical application of human rights norms in a range of contexts. This course is ideally suited to students interested in international legal practice, international development, international governmental and non-governmental organisations.

Students travel from around the world to attend courses at the university and there are plenty of resources available to them. On the website is a range of course specific information and plenty to help before the student arrives in Oxford. Once they reach the campuses, then there is support available on matters such as money and banking, health and insurance and bringing family to Oxford. There is also information about immigration matters and visas and even simple packing tips for first-time students. These are provided by the International Student Advice Team who are available via email and phone as well as on-site. Brookes Union is the student union at the university and are in charge of organising over 60 clubs and societies as well as organising events and offering support for students. All students are automatically members and there is advice on hand for matters such as finances, housing, welfare and legal issues. It organises regular events such as Fresher’s Week, to help new students get to know the university.
