Legal Studies (Human Rights Specialization)

The Legal Studies Department at CEU offers a unique opportunity for the students to take courses in the Human Rights program that are intended to provide a theoretical grounding in traditional and alternative approaches to human rights protection. The program is designed specifically for the students interested in the theoretical and policy implications of the human rights protection and advocacy. It offers practical instruction on the specific legal mechanisms and institutional processes which organizations can use to effectively approach the human rights issues confronting transitional and already established democracies today, such as international and regional litigation and participation in international human rights protection mechanisms. The program also includes analyses of major relevant events worldwide. For more information visit the CEU Legal Studies department and its human rights program or download/print Department brochure.
