The course has given me a basis for how I can incorporate international law and principles into work on a domestic level with a view to alleviating social injustice. The standard of lectures presented by the faculty was exceptional. They were engaging, balanced, informative, and, at all times, thought provoking. The staff were incredibly helpful, from the time I started inquiring about the course right through to the end of the course. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn for the sake of learning, without the pressure of assessments. Thank you. This course has expanded my mind and empowered me to commit to lifelong human rights advocacy and learning.” – Ellen S. ‘15
