MSc Human Rights and Diplomacy

This is an interdisciplinary course that combines Law, Philosophy, and Politics of human rights. Youll learn about the practice and theory of human rights laws and politics, the UN human rights institutions, their history, and their philosophical foundations. Youll be taught by top human rights researchers and will be given practical training from experienced UN personnel in negotiating draft documents, and learning how to make a difference. The course includes a 5-day study visit to Geneva for all students, to observe the Human Rights Council in session. Additionally, for the final three months of the course, if your profile is strong enough then youll have the opportunity to apply for a highly desirable internship, or else to pursue projects with human rights organizations or to tackle a traditional dissertation.
