Please note that due to the COVID-19, the EMHRPP programme has been postponed for one year for all admitted applicants. This means that no studies will take place in 2020 and that teaching for the entire programme will start only in September 2021.
Our next regular Application Procedure, for both Erasmus Mundus scholarship and self-funded candidates, will start around October 2021 for the 2022/2023 academic year.
Information about an eventual Application Process for self-funded candidates of the academic year 2021/2022 will be announced in December 2020.

Remote studies due to COVID-19
To reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, the School of Global Studies has shifted to remote teaching during the autumn semester 2020 and spring semester 2021. This means that lectures, seminars, group work, and examinations are conducted online.
Course-specific information is shared by your course coordinator or in Canvas.
At the School of Global Studies, we offer education with a global perspective in four different subject areas. The common interest in all our subject areas is the interest in power relations, equality, and sustainable development. All of our courses give you a deeper understanding of contemporary global issues.
Information about our subject areas is found in the list.
