Student Body
IHRE is proud of its diversity and inclusivity. Half of its student body consists of students from Southern African universities, and half of students from North American institutions. Participants come from an extremely broad range of ethnic, social, and disciplinary backgrounds. 
Normally, applicants are in their second or subsequent year of undergraduate study, although recent graduates are also welcome to apply. Students with a commitment to social justice and/or a history of academic or personal involvement with human rights issues are particularly encouraged to consider IHRE and may find that the breadth and depth of the curriculum, as well as the exposure to human rights issues seen from African perspectives and in the context of South Africa’s recent history, are especially valuable. However, we encourage students of all backgrounds to apply—no previous study of human rights is required.
