Hello!!
Is anyone applying to the MSt in International Human Rights Law at University of Oxford?
I'm interested in public international law, particularly in human rights. In the future, I would like to continue working in this area, maybe in an international organization or NGO in the field. At the moment, I can't leave my job, so Im looking for an Executive LLM or any other distance learning programmes.
The MSt in IHRL at University of Oxford looks great for me. On the one hand, its a flexible course composed by online classes and residential sessions (once per year); on the other hand, its focused on the subject I wish to pursue at advanced level, not to mention that Oxford is globally recognised.
I'm considering applying for this one. I start preparing my supporting documents. In the meantime, I would like to know who else is applying or has already applied for admission 2014/2015, so we can exchange information or at least give us some moral support. Also, I would be very happy to hear from those who have finished or are in the process to finish this programme, what are your thoughts on the MSt and your experiences during and after, especially Im interested to know if it was possible to balance work with this demanding course.
Another important issue is funding. Unfortunately, my employer can't sponsor my studies, so Im searching for other funding options. Does anyone has an idea of how many (%) of the students for this programme are granted scholarships by Oxford? I know they admit around 30 students each year, Im just curious to know if the majority is self-funded or has a scholarship.

Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you! Good luck with your applications!

I have applied to, I was just reading the profiles of past students on the website and suddenly a bit worried about my chances! It says its for early or mid career lawyers but most people seem to be pretty experienced! Will have to wait a see I guess. But also worried about funding if I do get a place, it's a lot of money
