The Master of Advanced Studies in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law promotes academic excellence and independent critical thinking. One of its core outputs is a master’s paper (6 ECTS) on a specific topic related to transitional justice, written under the guidance of a Faculty member.
The paper gives students an opportunity to investigate a subject of special interest to them, deepening their knowledge and expertise through research as well as exchanges with experts, scholars and practitioners. Students are encouraged to concentrate on specific case studies, legal frameworks or problems of immediate relevance to transitional justice.
As an option during the Spring Semester, our students can work on an extended version of their master’s paper and be directly involved in academic activities such as seminars and workshops.
Our teaching enables specialists to apply legal frameworks to complex situations – Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Colombia, Iraq, Syria – and challenging processes such as criminal proceedings, political transitions, international negotiations and humanitarian interventions.
