Students with a commitment to social justice and/or a history of academic or
personal involvement with human rights issues are particularly encouraged to
consider IHRE. The breadth and depth of the IHRE curriculum, combined with the
exposure to human rights issues seen from African perspectives and in the context
of South Africa’s recent history, are especially valuable for students preparing to
embark on a career in social justice or human rights.
