European Human Rights Law provides a detailed exploration on select rights contained within the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). As well as exploring process and procedures for bringing a complaint before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), this module provides a detailed exposition of substantive European human rights law as developed by the ECtHR. Students will engage with key doctrinal underpinnings of ECHR law. The module may also adopt a socio-legal and comparative approach on key debates relating to ECHR law. This may include engaging in arguments relating to legitimacy, interpretation and evolution of rights protection by the ECtHR throughout each of the substantive topics on this course. The module is assessed by a mid-trimester take home examination (50%) and an end of trimester literature review (50%).
