Historie

The MSc-program in Human Rights and Multiculturalism is a two years (120 ECTS) interdisciplinary program focusing on human rights and culture at local, national, regional and international levels.

The program is designed to accommodate students with degrees in different academic disciplines. It is also a post graduate degree course in teacher education.

Because human rights knowledge and awareness of the public are crucial elements in the realization of human rights, the study of human rights education and human rights in professional practice are important elements in the program.

Through the course of study, the students will look at human rights from the perspectives offered by different cultures as well as academic disciplines and how human rights are to be perceived in the light of cultural diversity.

Students with a Master's degree in Human Rights and Multiculturalism from Buskerud and Vestfold University College will be able to work in public services and administration, education, media, humanitarian organisations, private corporations and as consultants.

The students gain experience in interdisciplinary research, and will also be qualified to pursue academic research in the field of human rights and cultural diversity.
