European and International Human Rights Law (Advanced LL.M.)

Extracurricular

During this programme, you will have the opportunity to participate in a number of extracurricular activities that will enhance your studies, such as:

• Throughout the year, students take part in Weekly Lectures which gives them the opportunity to share and know the work of distinguished scholars and human rights practitioners. Similarly, students receive information on seminars and activities that take place both within and outside the Faculty.
• Every year, the programme organises a study trip to Strasbourg and Geneva to get a better understanding of how human rights works in practice. The event includes visits to a number of UN institutions and the Council of Europe. It provides a good opportunity for students to get to know each other better.
• Finally, a Christmas dinner and a number of informal gatherings, drinks, and meetings are organised regularly throughout the academic year.
