Important Note:

  • One course from the Human Rights Law Specialisation Group has to be compulsorily opted by students from every Specialisation either in semester one or semester two. However, a student opting Corporate Governance and Human Rights from the Business Law Group, a student opting Comparative Crime Justice and Human Rights from the Criminal and Security Law Group, a student opting Human Rights, Governance & Sustainable Development from the Law, Policy and Good Governance Group, and a student opting European Union Human Rights Law from the European Union Law and International Law Specialisation need not opt for a course from the Human Rights Law Specialisation Group.
  • Students from other specializations can also opt for one course from the European Union Law and International Law Specialization instead of a course from their own Specialisation group. Students from the Business Law Group can also opt for a course from the EU Business Law Sub-Group. Similarly, students from the Human Rights Specialization Group can opt for one course from the EU Human Rights Sub-Group.
