Find out more about us
The UCL Student Human Rights Programme is a dynamic and pro-active human rights organisation. We are led by students and advised by human rights academics and professionals, with members from all walks of life.
Because our human rights are worth protecting, UCL SHRP seeks to foster a vibrant culture of human rights within UCL and wider communities by initiating awareness, instigating debate and inspiring action.
Our new vacancies board is online and maintained weekly, so why not have a look and see what you can do in the programme as an active member in projects, initiatives or on the programme's student Board? Projects run all year round so you can join at any point throughout the year!
A handy pocket-size brochure about our work can be viewed for further information. Select an item from the list below to find out more about us.
