This cutting-edge LLM places you in the unique position to develop advanced knowledge and expertise in two specialist fields: criminal justice and international human rights. It will empower you to pursue legal practice in the UK and internationally, opening diverse career paths in the criminal justice and human rights sector, or advancing you to the position where you will choose to undertake a PhD in criminal justice or human rights or their interactions.This pioneering LLM introduces you to the history, theory and practice of international human rights law, while highlighting abuses of human rights in the criminal process and suggesting reforms.You’ll get a 360-degree view of the criminal process, and a multidimensional perspective that explores organic synergies between domestic, transnational and international criminal justice systems.You’ll be able to choose interdisciplinary modules that will broaden your view of advanced criminal justice and human rights topics.You’ll learn by doing, for example in the Criminal Evidence module, where you examine in chief and cross-examine witnesses in fictional criminal trials, before experienced barristers and Judges – for example, at the Old Bailey (the central criminal court) in London.
