Description

Kursen är en fortsättningskurs som fokuserar på praktisk tillämpning av MR-systemet på vardagsnivå och i krigssituationer. Kursen är indelad i tre delkurser där man behandlar diskriminering och likabehandling samt våld och ansvarsutkrävande. Viktiga frågor som ställs är: Vilka regelverk finns och hur tolkar man dem? Hur styrs MR av politiskt formulerade mål? Kursen avslutas med en självständig uppsats.

Included parts

  • Discrimination and Equal Treatment, 10 credits
    Den första delkursen presenterar och diskuterar de juridiska grunderna för diskrimineringsförbudet inom svensk lagstiftning. Här analyseras också det internationella regelverket som utgörs av konventionerna för mänskliga rättigheter. Vidare diskuteras olika filosofiskt och politiskt formulerade försök att förebygga diskriminering i samhället.
  • Violence and Responsibility, 10 credits
    Delkurs två ger en fördjupning i frågor som rör mänskliga rättigheter och humanitär rätt i väpnade konflikter samt internationella rättsregler kring militär intervention.
  • Thesis, 10 credits
    Grundläggande kunskaper i metod och teori för enskilt uppsatsskrivande. Olika metodologiska utgångspunkter belyses.

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
