When can I apply?
If you would like to join the module-based projects in 2023-24, applications are now open. Please submit your application by Monday 9 October at 9am to humanrightscentreclinic@essex.ac.uk. Please send your application documents in a single PDF file with the file name [SURNAME]_[First name]_HRCC application.
What to include in your application
The application should include two attachments:
- your CV (two pages maximum)
- a 400-word statement explaining why you want to join the Clinic and what you expect to learn from it. The statement should include your preferred three module-based projects in order of preference. We will do our best to accommodate your choices
Interviews
Interviews will take place via Zoom during the afternoons of 10th and 11th October 2023. You will be allocated a time slot for a short conversation with the HRC Clinic Director and the Deputy Director. We will communicate the decision on 13 October 2023.
Important information
- If you are taking part in any of the five module-based projects, you will also need to enrol in HU902 (Spring Term and two sessions in Autumn Term).
- Students are free to apply to module-based projects and to stand-alone projects at the same time, but note that the module-based projects will require approximately 8-10 hours of your time per week from late October to the end of June on top of the coursework for all other modules. We recommend you do not overstretch your commitments.
There are a limited number of places available on module-based projects. Accordingly, all students who wish to participate go through a selection process. If you are a postgraduate student and would like to participate in one of our module-based projects, you will be expected to submit your application first. Should you be successful, you will automatically be registered for the optional module HU902.
