International Human Rights Law Track
This track focuses on human rights principles, norms, conventions, and mechanisms to equip students with the requisite practical skills and substantive knowledge to become human rights professionals and scholars. Major coursework will be taken from this track with a multidisciplinary approach and dynamic teaching methods.
Dispute Resolution Track
The Dispute Resolution track aims to develop a modern legal practitioner who can adopt a more holistic, problem-solving approach to conflicts and is not limited to a strictly rights-based, adversarial method of resolving disputes. This track gives a deeper exposure to so-called “alternative” dispute resolution processes.
The source of inspiration and a testament to the university's impact. From diverse backgrounds, they've excelled in their fields and continue to support our alma mater.
