New online Master Programme Governance and Human Rights

MASTER OF GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

at

HUMBOLDT VIADRINA School of Governance in Berlin, Germany

We happy to announce that the application process for the distance-learning Master of Governance and Human Rights, planned to start in April 2014, has been opened. Please check our website for all the required information: http://www.humboldt-viadrina.org/eng/study/master-of-governance-and-human-rights/ 

The Master of Governance and Human Rights at a glance:

- The Master of Governance and Human Rights is a two-year distance learning online and part-time on-campus international Master program;

- The professional degree program will be taught in English, aiming to empower students and young professionals to understand and reflect the theoretical meaning and practical application of Governance in and through Human Rights;

- The program addresses young professionals with a university degree, first work experience and a project idea which they seek to realize

The Master’s focus is based on the premise that good governance and human rights are mutually reinforcing. Yet, the translation and integration of concepts and theories into practical strategies is largely missing in most applied projects or policies. Good governance principles such as accountability, transparency and participation have to be better linked to human rights norms and standards. Conversely, the realization and implementation of human rights depends on the adherence to good governance principles. The program further includes and reflects on the role of new governance actors in the field that impact the realization of human rights, such as multinational companies, civil society and international organizations.

We are looking forward to your applications by January 2014.

Warmest,

Prof. Dr. Anja Mihr
