Graduate Diploma in Social Justice (Human Rights)

The University of Sydney

Equip yourself to promote and protect human rights in local and international contexts. Students in the Human Rights stream of the Graduate Diploma in Social Justice will gain a critical understanding of the roots of human rights violations and the tools and mechanisms deployed to promote and protect them, while developing key skills in research, analysis, communication and advocacy that can be applied in domestic, regional and international contexts. Obtain vital knowledge of international and regional human rights systems and investigate the roots of human rights violations. Principles drawn from many disciplines and a range of geographically diverse case studies will inform your thinking. This stream has a domestic, regional, and global outlook, exploring the political, social, legal, and cultural contexts of human rights challenges in Australia, in the Asia-Pacific region, and in the world. Students practice advocacy skills in a compelling and intensive simulated human rights exercise.
