Human Rights Portfolio Course
Enrol on our Human Rights portfolio course for an opportunity to learn about public law, human rights law, development and challenges in law, judicial review and enforcement of rights.
This enrichment is open to students on all courses. To complete the course, you are required to attend timetabled sessions for one term (1.5 hours per week for 12 weeks).
You will not receive an official qualification for this course however undertaking a study in Human Rights Law in the UK can develop your interest and knowledge and you can progress to complete an EPQ. This enrichment and the EPQ can each help your applications to stand out when applying for Law, Politics and International Relations at university or when entering employment.
When you apply to Huish you can select Human Rights EnRICH within your application and the course will be scheduled for a term in your first year.
