European and International Human Rights Law (Advanced)
In the contemporary world the coexistence and interaction of
legal regimes has become a characteristic feature. The same holds true
for the human rights systems that have developed nationally, regionally
and globally.
In many cases where human rights are at risk, different human
rights protection mechanisms may be applicable or overlap. In addition,
human rights supervisory bodies seem increasingly inclined to take each
other’s work into account, aiming to enhance the building of an
all-embracing and cohesive human rights culture. The Advanced Master’s
in ‘European and International Human Rights Law’ gives the coexistence
and interaction of multiple human rights mechanisms pride of place by
studying them in a comparative perspective.
This Master of Laws Advanced Studies programme is a focused and
demanding postgraduate degree programme. It is directed at law graduates
and other graduates with a sufficient background in law who are eager
to pursue advanced studies in order to specialise in international and
European human rights law.
Distinguishing features in brief
Small-scale teaching enables intensive interaction between students
and lecturers, thus allowing for in-depth analysis, teaching and
research. The programme focuses on studying human rights law in a
comparative perspective whilst covering both international and regional
human rights systems.
We pride ourselves on being able to offer contributions to the programme
from renowned human rights experts working in the field who bring the
most recent developments and issues to the class room for real-time
discussions.
A study trip to human rights organisations in Strasbourg and Geneva is
of course a must for this programme and will add to a genuine
understanding of human rights law by helping to put theory into
practice.
… and through all this you will gain the necessary international
experience and skills you need to work in the field of human rights law
anywhere in the world.
Content
The programme focuses on deepening and broadening your knowledge and
understanding of the multilayered nature of European and international
human rights law. It endeavours to make you an expert on the overall
characteristics and working of different human rights law protection
mechanisms in their specific political, social and legal settings and on
the various ways in which they may coexist, overlap and influence each
other. It does not aim to make you the ultimate specialist in any single
human rights law system by studying it in minute detail.
The philosophy of the programme lies in the conviction that studying the
specific features and overall workings of various human rights law
systems in a comparative perspective will enable you to gain the
in-depth knowledge and understanding of human rights law you will need
to work in the field of human rights anywhere in the world.
