Course content
Human rights at Sussex goes beyond a narrow legalistic approach. You’ll work with expert faculty, exploring how humans are socially embedded in wider processes of:
- poverty
- violence
- identity
- globalisation
- the emergence of global forms of governance.
You’ll benefit from our strong international networks. Our faculty have undertaken consultancy in a range of human rights fields and regional contexts.
