About this programme
The Master's programme in Governance and Human Rights connects the theory of science with its practical application. In 14 modules, the students will learn to analyse and understand legal and political theories of governance and international and regional human rights regimes. They will also learn how these topics are interrelated. The students and scholars in the Governance and Human Rights Master's programme will design, plan, organise, and realise their own project addressing a practical challenge related to the field of governance and human rights. Project-based learning is of central importance for the programme. The students will learn to conceptualise and contribute to social change and acquire the design and communication skills to adapt theoretical approaches to governance and human rights to their professional working environment, e.g. as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR). They will be taught and supervised by outstanding and renowned international human rights academics, practitioners, and experienced project coaches. This Master's programme is recommended and listed as an official human rights training programme by the Human Rights Education Network of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
