The Open Society Foundations/University of Essex Scholarships in Human Rights aim to provide opportunities for independent postgraduate study in the United Kingdom for students who are engaged in or intending to pursue postgraduate work in their own country.

MA in Theory and Practice of Human Rights;
MA in Human Rights and Cultural Diversity;
LLM in International Human Rights Law; and
LLM in International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.
Each award will provide for payment of academic tuition fees, examination fees, a monthly stipend for living expenses sufficient for a single student, and other agreed upon allowances, including one return economy airfare.
