Why Study at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies?

The Institute provides excellent opportunities for postgraduate study, through its Master’s and Research degree programmes.

Our MA in Understanding and Securing Human Rights is the longest-running multi-disciplinary and practice-oriented human rights MA programme in the UK. We have been training human rights advocates and defenders around the world since 1995.

"The MA in Understanding and Securing Human Rights is a cutting edge postgraduate programme, achieving the objective of balancing academic rigour with a practical engagement in the field of human rights.”
(Nigel Eltringham, External Examiner 2010)

The Institute also provides supervision for interdisciplinary doctoral degrees, focusing increasingly on the Social Sciences, especially relating to Human Rights, Globalisation and Development, Politics, and Commonwealth History. Students can pursue their academic interests within the friendly and supportive environment of the Institute, enhanced by the outstanding libraries of the University of London, including our own prestigious library collection.
