Visiting Scholars

Overview

The EMHRPP (Erasmus Mundus Human Rights Policy and Practice) visiting scholar initiative aims to bring together researchers and professionals from a range of settings and with a common interest in the field of Human Rights Policy and Practice.

This will be both an opportunity to engage with different ideas and research findings in relation to Human Rights, and an opportunity to network with colleagues from a wide range of countries.

There will be a particular emphasis put on what expertise you can bring to support the students studying on this programme.

Scholars and guest lecturers can come from both Programme and Partner Countries and their involvement should bring added value to the Masters Program student intake in terms of student-centred teaching/lecturing, research activities, Master thesis support, academic/professional networking, etc.

The participation of high-level scholars/guest lecturers plays an important role in increasing the course attractiveness, and thus the aim is to attract individuals with outstanding academic and/or professional profile to be involved in our Masters Program.
