Diploma in Human Rights is a 2-year full-time diploma programme taught on the MIT University Sikkim campus at Namchi, Sikkim, across 4 semesters and 80 credits (Level 5.5). Human Rights is the main subject in every year, supported by practical work, a project or internship and continuous assessment. Eligibility: 12th in Any Stream. On completion the award is Diploma in Human Rights — 80 Credits.
Built around Human Rights, Diploma in Human Rights is a 2-year on-campus programme covering how society, governance, history and human behaviour shape everyday life in 4 planned semesters.
Teaching combines classroom sessions with source and document analysis, field survey and interviews and debate and seminar presentation, so what you learn in theory is immediately practised. You finish with Diploma in Human Rights and a record of work you can show to an employer or a university.
The value of Diploma in Human Rights
A single clear subject focus: Human Rights, studied properly for 2 years rather than spread thin.
Practical work every semester — source and document analysis, field survey and interviews and debate and seminar presentation — so you can show what you can do, not only what you studied.
Subject choices that stay relevant: Human Rights: Practical Lab / Workshop, Industry Internship and Digital Tools.
A degree from a UGC-recognised state private university, valid for employment and for further study.
Small campus, direct access to faculty, and daily classroom support at Namchi, Sikkim.
What you will be able to do
Build an argument from evidence in the context of Human Rights.
Collect and interpret field data in the context of Human Rights.
Write clear analytical reports in the context of Human Rights.
Understand policy and its social impact in the context of Human Rights.
Complete a Human Rights project or internship and present it to faculty.
Career preparation
Resume writing, communication and interview practice are part of the programme, aimed at the roles Diploma in Human Rights graduates actually apply for.
Namchi campus
Classes for Human Rights run on the Namchi campus at Assangthang, with classrooms, library and workshop facilities on site.
Faculty access
Batch sizes stay small enough that Human Rights faculty know each student, review project work individually and are reachable outside class hours.
Practice-led teaching
source and document analysis, field survey and interviews and debate and seminar presentation are scheduled into the timetable, not added on. Assessment runs continuously through the semester.
