PhD programme draws upon the expertise of over 80 Human Rights Centre members from different academic disciplines and areas of human rights interest. Our research community encompasses internationally renowned scholars whose work ranges from research into the philosophical and normative bases of human rights, through to more practically-oriented interests in the legal, political and sociological application of human rights.
Our broad range of human rights expertise is reflected in our research clusters, which address both contemporary and enduring human rights issues.

While our primary focus is international and comparative human rights, our research-active staff also encompass human rights and democracy in the UK.
