Abstract Education plays an important role in making students become aware of world issues such as human rights. Human Rights Education is all about helping people to develop to the point where they understand human rights, and where they feel that they are important and should be respected and defended. Human Rights Education constitutes an essential contribution to the long-term prevention of human rights abuses and an important investment towards the achievement of just society, in which all the people are valued and respected. The present investigation found the level of human rights awareness among professional students in relation to their stream. Only professional students of Punjab pursuing their education in Computer Application, Engineering and Law courses were taken in consideration. Samples of approximately 50 students from each of three groups of professional students were drawn on random basis. Descriptive survey method was employed for the present study. Human Rights Awareness Test (HRAT) by Dr. Vishal Sood and Dr. (Mrs.) Arti Anand (2012) was used to check awareness of professional students towards human rights. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare awareness of professional students in relation to their stream of study. It is concluded from the results that students of engineering, computer application and law do not differ significantly in their level of human rights awareness.
