‘Research-led teaching’

In addition to their research activities, HRDF members are dedicated teachers and deliver a number of courses through which they share their passion for research and their commitment to developing and sharing new knowledge and skills. Many members teach on the core course of UK Constitutional and Administrative Law. All members also teach optional courses at undergraduate level. For second year students, these include ‘Equality and Diversity’, ‘Law, Democracy and Populism’, ‘Jurisprudence’ and ‘Human Rights and Human Dignity’. For third year students, options taught by HRDF members include: ‘Business and Human Rights Law’, ‘Modern Trafficking and Modern Slavery’, ‘Law, Politics and Power’, and ‘Human Rights Law’.

At postgraduate level, students can sign up for courses, such as ‘Dignity, Democracy and the Law, and ‘International Criminal Law and Justice’.  Find out more about all modules.
