Description

Kursen är flervetenskaplig och ger en översikt över ämnet mänskliga rättigheter (MR). Utifrån ett flertal olika infallsvinklar studeras MR-begreppet för att ge en insikt i hur det vuxit fram historiskt och vad det finns för försvar, både juridiskt och etiskt, för de mänskliga rättigheterna. Kursen ger en insyn i hur MR-systemet fungerar på ett flertal olika nivåer och vad nationer, organisationer och individer har för rättigheter och skyldigheter. Kursen är indelad i tre olika delkurser, där man tematiskt behandlar rättighetsproblematik utifrån ett gränsöverskridande perspektiv.

Included parts

  • Introduction to Human Rights, 10 credits
    Den första delkursen inriktas på grundläggande kunskap och analytiska verktyg som ger en bas för de fortsatta studierna. Kursen behandlar de filosofiska och etiska grunder som systemet och idéerna om rättigheter vilar på.
  • The Rise of Human Rights in the International System, 10 credits
    Delkurs två tar sin utgångspunkt i den moderna tiden. Kursen behandlar uppkomsten av stat och nation och vad historien betytt för utvecklingen av MR. I fokus står de stora världskrigen och de internationella samarbetsorgan som uppstod ur dem.
  • The Realisation of Human Rights, 10 credits
    För att sedan knyta samman ovanstående ger delkurs tre en överblick över FN-systemet och juridiska ramverk för förverkligandet av MR. Delkursen har sin utgångspunkt i nutid och förklarar vilka globala aktörer som finns och vilken roll de spelar när det kommer till exempelvis upprätthållandet av fred och ansvarsutkrävande.

Note!

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.

Tuition Fees

Non-EU/EEA citizens

Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.

Application fee

If you are required to pay tuition fees, you are generally also required to pay an application fee of SEK 900 (approximately EUR 100) when you apply at universityadmissions.se. You pay one application fee regardless of how many programmes or courses you apply to.
