Placement
I am currently enrolled in a law reform project with the Essex Law Clinic - a partner organization of the Law Commission of Britain and Wales. In addition, there is also an exclusive Human Rights Law Clinic which partners with several international NGOs and UN bodies to collaborate on research projects and provides real-time work experience and lots of networking opportunities to the students as well as several skill developers training received.
Ranked in the top 50 law schools globally and in the top 10 specifically in human rights. The Essex brand works wonders for those who want to pursue a career in the field of human rights.
