Objectives
Since September 2005 the Centre has offered this unique opportunity to study an MSc in Human Rights and Human Values. The programme takes a multidisciplinary approach to human rights and values, drawing on political theory, law, philosophy, theology, international relations and ethics.
It allows students interested in human rights to approach the issue from a broad perspective and in the context of global ethics. The MSc introducse conceptual and analytical frameworks in order to encourage critical thinking and reflective practice and to improve students' factual knowledge base regarding the actual application of human rights. It provides solid research training for future academics in relevant fields, particularly those of ethics and politics and contributes to the professional development of NGO personnel and those working in the public and private sector.
