We are pleased to announce that admissions for the Master’s in International Human Rights Law at the University of Oxford are open for the course starting September 2021.

The degree is offered on a part-time basis over two academic years. Students work online in their home country from September to June each year and spend summers at New College, Oxford, taking classes with a distinguished, internationally recognised faculty and students from all over the world. The course is designed in particular for lawyers as well as other (non-law) human rights advocates who wish to pursue advanced studies in international human rights law but may need to do so alongside work and/or care responsibilities.

All candidates who are offered a course place will be considered for any scholarships where they meet the eligibility criteria. These include scholarships for candidates from ASEAN membership countries and selected former Soviet Union countries.  We also hope to secure funding for up to five scholarships for candidates from selected developing Commonwealth countries though the outcome of this funding application will not be known until February 2021.

The deadline for applications is 12:00 midday UK time on Friday 22 January 2021.
