You also may be interested in the much more common related field of international development.

Many master’s of public administration (MPA) and master’s of international affairs (MIA) programs have a development or human rights focus.

European programs in Human Rights:

University College London - MA in Human Rights
University of Sydney - MA of Human Rights
School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) - MA in Human Rights Law
Sciences Po - MA in Human Rights and Humanitarian Action
University of Sussex - MA in Human Rights
University of York - MA in Applied Human Rights
University of Essex - MA in Human Rights and Cultural Diversity

I will add my two cents, though, that I’m curious as to your reasons for an MA in this field. In my experience, these programs tend to be “cash cow” programs for universities - they rarely provide any kind of financial aid for them aside from loans, and the tuition often generates revenue to support other programs and endeavors for the university. What’s more, they don’t tend to lead directly into jobs in the field.

I might suggest pursuing the MPA programs with concentrations in international development or human rights, because those tend to be more versatile.
