Human Rights & International Politics (MSc/PgDip)

Trip to Geneva

Students on the MSc and MRes in Human Rights and International Politics can optionally participate in a 5 day trip to Geneva after the exams.

The trip will introduce you to a range of human rights and humanitarian organisations based in Geneva, providing more in depth engagement with those who work in the field of human rights. It will also help you connect what you have learned in classes to real world institutions, and give you a sense of possible career opportunities.
