Master of Arts - International Politics and Human Rights

This is a course where students will challenge their own point of view. At City, they unpick the ideas that structure the way they understand the world, so they can identify how those understandings shape global events. They then focus on how the way they view things may, in itself, be ethically problematic.

International Politics and Human Rights is an evolving subject so students explore unique specialisms backed by real-world research. The department’s academics are actively shaping policy, sitting on the advisory board for the Corbyn shadow cabinet, hosting talks on the human right to housing in London, and engaging in study groups around the Obama presidency. This keeps the content of the course effective and current, giving students a contemporary lens from which to view rapid political change.
