Masters

Candidates usually need to have earned a bachelor's degree in any field from an accredited university to be eligible for admission to a PG Diploma in Human Rights program. Although the majority of universities welcome graduates from all disciplines, some could favour applicants with backgrounds in sociology, political science, social work, law, or similar professions because these subjects are strongly tied to the study of human rights. Although the precise percentage may differ based on the institution, most undergraduate programs need a minimum cumulative score of 50% or greater.In certain situations, preference may be given to working professionals or those with previous experience in social organisations, legal firms, or NGOs. Since the course sometimes entails studying international human rights legislation and treaties, fluency in English is typically required. Additional requirements for international students may include passing English language proficiency exams like the TOEFL or IELTS and presenting certificates of equivalency for previous coursework.

A postgraduate Diploma in human rights can be used to work for international organisations such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, or the United Nations as a programme officer, policy analyst, or human rights advocate. There are also many opportunities for employment in non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that prioritise gender equality, activism, refugee rights, social justice, and child welfare. Other good choices are positions in government organisations, including social welfare departments or human rights commissions.Conversely, a postgraduate Diploma in international studies equips you with work in global policy analysis, international relations, and diplomacy. You might collaborate with think tanks, research institutes, or international organisations that address global concerns like development, trade, security, or climate change. Common jobs include global project manager, foreign policy analyst, and international affairs specialist. Additionally, the Diploma can lead to positions in multinational companies, where knowledge of international markets and cross-border contacts is crucial.
