Mänskliga rättigheter - Masterprogram

The LL.M. in International Human Rights Law has been offered by the Faculty of Law for more than 30 years. As such it was one of the first LL.M. programmes in the world established specifically to provide for the academic mastery of an increasingly influential and complex area of international law.

The programme is a cooperative venture by the Faculty of Law and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI). This makes your education unique: no other LL.M. programme offers the joint resources of a prestigious law school and a renowned implementation-oriented human rights institution. The LL.M. Guide for Law Programs Worldwide ranks it among the top 10 in the field.

Both the Faculty of Law at Lund University and the RWI are well respected educational actors and our graduates benefit from the fact that the Master´s programme at Lund is held in high esteem worldwide. We provide our students with a multitude of perspectives on human rights yet ensuring a red thread of academic progression throughout the programme.
