Human Rights PhD

at University of Sussex

Our PhD in Human Rights is radically interdisciplinary, spanning the social sciences and humanities. As a doctoral researcher, you’ll have the opportunity to undertake research in human rights beyond a narrow legal approach. You’ll:

• be co-supervised by faculty with expertise in a wide range of areas, from social sciences to humanities and to law
• benefit from our strong international networks for research and collaboration
• be a part of the doctoral and early career researcher community affiliated with the Sussex Rights and Justice Research Centre, and participate in the research-in-progress seminars and other events of the Centre.
