"The network of support has really been invaluable. I still receive emails with job adverts, and it’s so wonderful to have so many former classmates and friends working for such a diverse mix of organisations, here in London and across the world. I can’t recommend the course enough for those who want to learn more about human rights issues and prepare for a career in the third sector."
