This is the first interdisciplinary program offered in Portugal in the theoroy and practice of human rights. It represents an initiative betwen the Department of Law, Education / Psychology and Social Economics. Therefore, it brings together faculty from the fields of Law, Education, Social Economics and Psychology to better grasp and and promote the study of human rights on a national and international scale.

Objectives

Through this interdisciplinary study, one can approach a variety of intersectional themes (dignity; vulnerability; solidarity; diversity) and its theoretical foundings, but also understand the practical applications found in studying human rights (how does knowing how to be intersect with knowing how to do).

In this regard, students will have contact with professionals in this field, allowing them to acquire and master the tools of project design and management while also receiving tutorial support in order to allow them to design and develop their own projects.

Targeted students

This program is intended for students with a Bachelor's degree in any scientific field.
