Academic, scientific or professional interest: This master's degree offers advanced training in the area of human rights, democracy and international justice. To this end, it provides a comprehensive, practical and theoretical educational programme from a necessarily interdisciplinary perspective, structured around two paths: the professional one and the researcher one. The first pathway is focused on boosting the ability to manage, advise or coordinate projects related to subjects typical of the masters, and is aimed at students who want to start or develop their careers in public or private institutions involved in the protection and promotion of human rights. The second pathway provides training to undertake high-level scientific research, and gives access to the doctoral programme.
