*     Application and admission

 

The Master’s Programme in International Human Rights Law offers three specialisations in the areas of:

·          International Human Rights Law

·          Intellectual Property Rights

·          International Labour Rights

 

The programme is offered by the Faculty of Law in cooperation with the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law. During the programme of study, students acquire in-depth knowledge of International Human Rights Law in general and, if they so choose, in one of the two additional specialisations Intellectual Property Rights or International Labour Rights.

 

The specialisation in International Human Rights Law, offers the students a wide and thorough insight into the intricate system for the international protection of human rights and the preconditions under which it functions at international and national levels.

 

The specialisation in Intellectual Property Rights, offered in cooperation with WIPO in Geneva, includes theoretical as well as practical approaches to the complex system of the law on copyright and the law on industrial property rights within the field of international human rights, and the special problems that can arise, and do arise, in the national and international community with regards to this legislation.

 

The specialisation in Labour Rights, offered in cooperation with the International Labour Organiation, ILO in Geneva, entails practical and theoretical knowledge about the conditions of workers and employers and the approaches taken by international Labour Rights lawyers and the international organisations, mainly the ILO, to deal with atrocities and violations of human dignity and rights related to work. In focus are not only the bases of Labour Rights but also the research and development regarding these rights and the specific surrounding in which they operate, as well as the original process of law making that is unique for the International Labour Rights system.
