Profile
The Bachelor of Arts in Human Rights is an exciting, four-year interdisciplinary degree programme offered by the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Celtic Studies in conjunction with the Irish Centre for Human Rights. The programme is unique in several respects, chiefly because it is the only undergraduate programme of its kind in the Republic of Ireland that allows undergraduates to specialise in a field that was previously reserved for postgraduate study. During the course, students engage with human rights discourse through class-based teaching at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, which is one of the world’s premier academic human rights institutions, dedicated to the study and promotion of human rights, international criminal law and international humanitarian law.
Finally, students will have the opportunity to undertake work placement or study abroad. The placement provides a unique opportunity to develop practical skills and experience the reality of a career in the field of human rights. Placements have been secured around the world, from Dublin to London, Genève, Madrid, Mexico, Peru, and the Philippines.
