The Human Rights Summer School will be held virtually in 2023, with the course being delivered in an online live, interactive format, split over two weeks, from 19 - 30 June.

Backed by continuing high demand and excellent feedback on the online delivery mode and the expanded curriculum delivered in the last two years, the sessions will cover a range of research methods and skills necessary for successful human rights practice and professional development in a challenging world.
