Research and Education

Centre for Human Rights members author world leading scholarship on human rights, which is utilised by governments, political regions, professional organisations and civil society.

Our research and publications are contributing to the worldwide understanding of human rights and human rights education. Our expertise in the simulation exercise, the Model United Nations, has been used by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to train junior civil servants, Chevening Scholars and the FCO Youth Inspiration Group.

Birmingham City University Law students have participated within the MUN, and it now forms part of the LLB International Human Rights module to provide students with cutting edge employability skills.
