We were fortunate enough to be taught by leading experts in the field of transitional justice. We also had the opportunity to be surrounded by students from different countries who could give us a personal opinion on how their countries underwent transition.
The programme is structured around six modules that cover central theoretical and practical issues in the fields of transitional justice, human rights and the rule of law.
The Master in Transitional Justice combines high-level academic education with real-world practice, allowing students to develop the transferable skills necessary to succeed in the professional world.
Our campus spans from Geneva’s international area to downtown Geneva with its vibrant cultural life.
Our Master in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law is organized around intimate learning communities enabling close interaction between students and professors.
