The MSc in Human Rights and Multiculturalism offers an interdisciplinary program focusing on human rights and culture at local, national, regional and international levels. The program pursues an interdisciplinary approach to Human Rights and Multiculturalism, mainly building on the humanities and social science. It builds on expertise within the disciplines of religious studies, political science, philosophy, international law, education and social anthropology.

These courses are offered in English. Learning methods include lecturers, group work seminars, tutoring, individual preparation, fieldwork, study trips and independent study. Some courses include mandatory attendance. Final assessments are based on a variety of tasks, such as term papers, exams, reports, oral presentations, and final individual written examinations.
