Hi everyone,
I am a journalist who wants to develop her career in human rights issues further. I specialise in gender and diversity and was accepted to the following masters:
LSE- Gender, rights and human rights / Sussex- MA Human Rights / Essex - Theory and Practice of human rights.
I like all programmes and haven't set my heart on one. Any advice of wich one might be better.
Thanks
