Human Rights

Human Rights Law is not just theoretical at IILM University, Gurugram.

Students get field visits, NGO tie-ups, and chances to draft awareness materials for real campaigns.

Careers in this field could be with NGOs, UN bodies, or even litigation in constitutional courts. The practical exposure makes IILM's Law students employable in whichever area of law they choose, even rights-focused organizations.

Some of the popular courses are the Diploma in Human Rights, Post Graduate Diploma in Human Rights, Diploma in Human Rights and Law, Certificate in Human Rights, Post Graduate Diploma in Human Rights and Values in Education, Post Graduate Certificate Course in Human Rights, Certificate in Human Rights Law etc. 

Two distinct but complementary Law specialisations, Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law are both concerned with protecting the life, health as well as the dignity of individuals. While International Humanitarian Law applies to a situation of armed conflict whereas International Human Rights Law applies at all times, that is, at the time of peace as well as in times of war.

Admission to the MA Human Rights programme at Madras University is generally on merit in the qualifying exam. That is, there is no entrance exam for this course. Instead, the candidates are selected based on their undergraduate degree academic performance. The university examines the previous academic records of the applicants and selects the candidates based on eligibility criteria. This will enable those students who have an academic background and a deep interest in human rights to pursue this program. For more information, you can visit the  page.
