A Ph.D. in Human Rights is a research-based program that looks at the legal, political, and social aspects of human rights protection and advocacy. The program typically lasts 3-5 years and covers themes such as international human rights legislation, humanitarian law, gender rights, social justice, and the importance of human rights in global government. Students conduct interdisciplinary research to address modern human rights concerns such as inequality, discrimination, and refugee rights. In most cases, admission needs a Master's degree in law, political science, or a similar discipline. Graduates go on to work in academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations, and government agencies focused on human rights advocacy and policy.
