Call for Applications: Master’s Degree Programme in International Law and Human Rights
The Master’s Degree Programme in International Law and Human Rights is designed to prepare its graduates for challenging careers in international organisations, non-governmental organisations, public administration or legal practice. The programme offers specialised knowledge and an in-depth understanding of topical issues in international and human rights law. Studies within the programme consist of courses analysing the structure of the legal order governing states and organisations along with the protection of the rights of individuals in an increasingly complex international environment. The programme offers students the possibility to profile themselves in different specialisation areas, such as international human rights law, migration and refugee law, international law and conflicts, and general international law. Studies within the programme equip students with expert knowledge, provide the requisite background for advanced research, and develop the practical application skills.
Students who have successfully completed the full-time study programme will be awarded a Master of International and Comparative Law degree.
This two-year programme is offered by the Institute for Human Rights and the Chair of Public International Law at Åbo Akademi University. The programme has been ongoing since 2006 and was originally called the Master’s Degree Programme in International Human Rights Law. In 2018, the programme was broadened by adding studies in public international law alongside the human rights law focus.
