Overview

At Human Rights from Malmö University you will examine the local and international significance of human rights and the role they play within public authorities, organisations and businesses.

Quick Facts:

Human rights are grounded in the belief that all people are born free and are of equal moral worth, and should therefore have equal access to rights. But how are human rights implemented, enforced and monitored? Are some rights more important than others, and how can conflicts concerning human rights be addressed and resolved? Throughout your studies, you will deeply engage yourself with questions like these.
After graduation, you will be equipped to navigate legal, political, or ethical issues within the realm of human rights. You will also have the opportunity to pursue master's studies.
The issue of human rights remains persistently relevant in our contemporary world marked by significant global challenges. By studying the importance, history, interpretation and implementation of human rights, you will develop a deeper understanding of current events and public debates – including issues that can be traced all the way back to the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Right
