A consortium of European universities is pleased to announce the start of a new joint post-graduate degree programme in human rights and genocide studies. The programme aims to provide participants with a deep understanding of the problem of mass violence and to equip them with interdisciplinary skills to allow them to make a real contribution to its avoidance and dealing with its aftermath.
This is a unique interdisciplinary postgraduate degree programme and the first of its kind in Europe, involving a number of European institutions and offering a curriculum which is international in design, scope and content.
Consortium partners and teaching staff
The participating institutions are: Kingston University (London), Viadrina European University (Frankfurt (Oder)), the University of Siena and Collegium Civitas (Warsaw). This joint programme also has the cooperative support of the University of Uppsala and the Centre d'Etudes et Recherches Internationales (CERI) (Sciences Po, Paris).
Programme coordinators are: Prof. Philip Spencer (Kingston), Prof. Ilaria Favretto (Kingston), Prof. Gerard C. Rowe (Viadrina), Dr. Carmen Thiele (Viadrina), Prof. Marcello Flores (Siena) and Prof. Jadwiga Koralewicz (Warsaw). They are joined by a large team of internationally recognised experts from various relevant disciplines.
Target groups
The programme is aimed at graduates in a range of disciplines (law, social sciences, politics etc.) either already working in or seeking a career in the field of international or national human rights protection, conflict prevention and response to problems of genocide and other phenomena of mass violence. It provides an ideal preparation for work with a wide range of international organisations (e.g., UN, UNHCR, ICC, OSCE, International Committee of the Red Cross), national organisations (e.g., human rights offices, foreign service, defence and foreign aid sectors, national Red Cross/Red Crescent) and NGOs (e.g. amnesty international, Human Rights
Watch). It will also provide a basis for future academic work, in particular for those aiming to prepare a doctoral thesis in this field.
