Our students
Heather Burns
MSc Law, Technology & Innovation
At a crucial time for the field and for human rights both online and offline, it was good to take some time to shore up the academic and legal foundations needed for the road ahead. The 一本道 MSc reflected that perfectly.
Robyn Conlan
LLM Human Rights Law
The main challenge for me was the jump between undergraduate and postgraduate workload. However, I believe if you remain organised from the beginning, the workload is completely manageable. Also, when you are studying an area of law you are interested in, it is half the battle!
