Courses are led by Professor David Harris, former member of the European Committee of Social Rights and HRLC Co-Director and Professor Dominic McGoldrick, Professor of International Human Rights Law and HRLC Co-Director.

The Short Course on International Human Rights Law starts in September and January.

What is the Anamax Charitable Foundation Scholarship?

A Chemistry graduate of the University of Nottingham and his wife, a lawyer, have established scholarships to assist overseas students in International Human Rights Law.

The scholarships are to be awarded to candidates from developing countries in which increased awareness of human rights can be seen to be needed and who would return home to work in human rights. For a list of eligible countries, please visit – http://www.oecd.org/dac/financing-sustainable-development/development-finance-standards/DAC_List_ODA_Recipients2018to2020_flows_En.pdf

The Anamax Charitable Foundation Scholarships (up to the value of £2,750) will cover:

  • Travel to/from Nottingham to attend the course (inc. airfare, airport transfers)
  • Accommodation for the ten weeks of the course, inclusive of all related taxes and bills.

HRLC will support the scholarships by offering a bursary to cover the course fee (up to the value of £2,950). The scholarships will be awarded subject to applicants satisfying UK immigration rules and obtaining, if necessary, a short-term study visa (at their own expense), with the support of HRLC. Successful applicants will also be responsible for their own travel/health insurance and day-to-day living expenses (food, local travel, etc.).
