Overview
Why choose this programme?
Human rights are approached as an element of public international law, at global and regional levels, and the different forms of implementation — international, regional, and national — are examined. They are also contextualised within a social science perspective and knowledge about and understanding of the normative and institutional framework, contemporary issues relating to terrorism, religion, ethnicity, women and development are studied in different courses.
There will be opportunities to do practical work (mock trials, internships) and discussions about human rights as social and cultural practices are included in the Theory and Practice of Human Rights programme of the University of Oslo. The final part of the programme consists in writing a thesis through which the students acquire methodological and practical skills well-suited to match a growing demand for professionals with a background in human rights.
