Programme content

Being part of the EMHRPP programme gives you the opportunity to study at four different universities in four different countries during two years of full-time studies.

Learn about the programme objectives in the syllabus:

Semester 1 in Gothenburg

You will study your first semester at the University of Gothenburg. The autumn semester in Gothenburg starts in the end of August each year and ends in the middle of January. Studying a full semester at the University of Gothenburg gives you 30 Higher Education Credits (HEC, ECTS), and the semester is divided into two courses á 15 credits each.

All courses have a syllabus and a reading list. You will find it here:

• MR2105 Human Rights as an Interdisciplinary Field
• MR2106 State, Market and Human Rights

Course information in Canvas

All course related information, including schedule, is communicated via our pedagogical electronic platform Canvas. On the course page in Canvas, you will receive information from the course coordinators as well as from the education administration. Once you are registered to the course you will have full access to all the course pages. Here are links to the Canvas pages for the autumn semester of 2023:

• Canvas page for Human Rights as an Interdisciplinary Field
• Canvas page for State, Market and Human Rights

Register for courses

As a programme student it is your responsibility to register to every new course throughout the semester. It is important to register to the course you are attending in order to get your grades and for your student insurance to be valid.

You register online via the Ladok services in the Student Portal within the registration period. Registration can be done at the earliest one week ahead of the course start. Information and instructions about registration is e-mailed by the education administrator ahead of the course start.

Please contact the education administration if you have problems with online registration.

Re-registration

If you were not able to finish a course within the course dates you can get re-registered. Re-registration is only possible when the course is given and if there are available seats. Contact the education administrator to ask for re-registration.
