I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of achieving this degree and would highly recommend it to all individuals with an interest in rights, activism and social justice. The Master’s Degree of Human Rights taught through Curtin University’s Centre for Human Rights Education has been the definitive highlight of my academic career. It provided me the autonomy of completing such a large project on my own time and with my own motivation, allowing me a true feeling of pride and achievement. Completing the 15,000 word dissertation on a subject of my own choosing was a definite highlight of the degree. I certainly felt like I Ieft the course with an in-depth and multifaceted understanding of the concept, philosophy and application of human rights.

The variety of units provided within this course was dynamic and fascinating. Each lecturer was also extremely encouraging and inclusive with online learning, ensuring all students felt well looked after when studying from overseas. Whilst each has a specialist area of human rights and advocacy, they are knowledgeable and well abreast of all areas of human rights understanding, both theoretical and practical. The teaching staff that I met in that first year remain some of the finest, generous and most passionate activists and educators I have had the privilege of learning alongside. I studied part time on campus in my first year and was able to take my studies with me, continuing as an online student when I moved to Scotland in 2017. Coming from an undergrad background of Law and Justice, as well as my personal experiences with social advocacy and activism, I felt the Human Rights degree would be a perfect complement and expansion to my knowledge base and social understanding. I was fortunate enough to be accepted into the Master’s Degree of Human Rights course run by the Centre for Human Rights Education in 2016.
