Details About The Arab Master in Democracy and Human Rights:

A unique interdisciplinary programme that includes research-oriented courses grounded in theory while developing practical and critical skills. It offers an international environment with lecturers and students from over 15 countries, and it includes a semester in a partner university across the region: Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Palestine (for Europeans and Americans).

The curriculum covers 80 to 120 credits, depending on the academic background of the student and the chosen track. Over 25 courses and 50 seminars are given by researchers, experts and practitioners from across the Arab region and Europe. These courses and seminars are divided into four thematic streams:

Human Rights: Civil, Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Democratic Governance and the Rule of Law.
Political, Social, and Intellectual dynamics in the Arab World.
Applied Human Rights: Research and Professional Skills.

Our courses include specialised seminars, field visits, field research, a Human Rights Laboratory, the Development of a Human Rights project and an internship programme in a Human Rights organisation.
