MSc Programs in Human Rights in Europe 2022

The MSc in Human Rights and Data Science (HRDS) at The American University of Paris prepares you to confront ethical questions at the forefront of emerging high-tech industries such as data protection and artificial intelligence, ensuring that technological development complements human rights protections rather than impinging upon them. -

The programme is designed for Masters students who are interested in the politics of human rights, humanitarianism and international and transitional justice especially in conflict and post-conflict states. It is also highly relevant to anyone working or intending to work in international NGOs, international organizations, think tanks and advocacy groups in the areas of rights, humanitarian assistance and transitional justice. It also looks more broadly at the future of global human rights in a world where, many claim, the influence of the West is declining and asks critical questions about the legitimacy and effectiveness of transitional justice mechanisms and humanitarian intervention. Students on this programme are able to participate in all of the activities of the Centre on Conflict, Rights and Justice - including closed and public seminars, workshops, expert briefings and professional training, a student-led blog, regular social events and the Centre's internship scheme (for a small group selected through a competitive application process). -

In combining the areas of human rights and multiculturalism, this MSc is unique in Europe. -

This is an online degree that engages critically with the history, politics and practice of humanitarian action. Students take the core module, followed by a selection of elective modules and a final dissertation. -
