This is a programme both for those interested in the practicalities of criminal justice and human rights at international level and for those seeking to develop an academic expertise in these areas as part of a career in teaching and/or research. Whether you are passionate about international criminal justice and human rights or sceptical about them, this programme will ensure that you are fully informed on the underlying issues and can debate them at a sophisticated level with others – including some who may not necessarily share your point of view. International criminal justice and human rights go together, and this programme offers students the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of both these interconnected areas of law. The international criminal justice side of the programme aims to provide students with a detailed understanding of the key contemporary issues in the field. The programme is a valuable preparation for a career in one or more of the international bodies for the administration of criminal justice or the furtherance of human rights, or in national institutions which interface with the international bodies. Equally, the programme would be a natural springboard for an academic career specialising in these fields, an obvious next step being doctoral studies.
