For those interested in pursuing a career in human rights, a Master’s degree is a great place to start. Further education provides you with both the knowledge and opportunities to gain field experience necessary to really make an impact. Here are six programmes that don’t require tuition fees:

Abo Akademi University: Institute for Human Rights and Department of Law
The Institute for Human Rights at Finland’s Abo Akademi University was founded in 1985 and focuses on research such as social justice, social and cultural rights, and the protection of vulnerable groups. The institute offers tuition-free attendance for EU/EEA students and asylum seekers living in Finland, as long as they’ve been admitted to a programme with English as the instruction’s language. There are currently seven programmes available. To attend, you must have a Bachelor’s degree in a “relevant” field. If you are not from the EU/EEA, you must pay tuition or seek a scholarship. The institute offers three: full scholarship, a 100% tuition-fee scholarship, and a 50% tuition-fee scholarship.

Lund University: International Human Rights Law
Lund University is one of the northern Europe’s oldest universities with a founding date of 1666. The Master of Laws programme is 50 years old, and represents a cooperation between the Faculty of Law at Lund and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law. There are no tuition fees for citizens of the EU/EEA and Switzerland. To attend, you must have at least a 3-year Bachelor degree in law or something equivalent, and be at an English Level 6, which is measured by scoring a 6.5 on the IELTS or a 90 on the TOEFL.

This master’s does not require tuition fees.
