2018 - 2019 Programme
Entry to the Specialised Master’s in Human Rights is open to students who have excelled in their higher education studies or who have substantial personal or professional experience in the field of human rights, and are holders of one of the following qualifications (subject to approval by the Council Board and any additional conditions it may apply):
Applications are examined by the Council Board, which grants entry to the Specialised Master’s. As a rule, postgraduate second cycle degrees should concern (i) the field of Law, (ii) a field related to the Specialised Master’s or (iii) another field. In the latter case, the student must be able to show relevant experience in the field of human rights gained through activities undertaken in either a private or a professional capacity. The Council Board may decide, where appropriate, to complement the student’s programme of study with courses covering the fundamentals of international public law and/or covering the principles and sources of Law. Where such prerequisites are applied, the student is required to pass the associated additional examinations as a condition for obtaining the Specialised Master’s degree.
