Master in Human Rights and Sustainability Programme (MAHRS)
The Master of Liberal Arts and Sciences with specialization in Human Rights and Sustainability Programme (MAHRS) is a new interdisciplinary graduate programme at the OSCE Academy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. It is designed as a transdisciplinary MA programme, bridging international law, social sciences, and humanities.
It includes internships for students in International Organizations, Think Tanks and CSO/NGOs with a related focus in their work. MAHRS will primarily focus on and operate with Central Asian (CA) countries, namely the five post-soviet countries Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan as well as Afghanistan and Mongolia.
“This MA Programme is for all who like to understand better human rights norms and standards and use them to unlock sustainable development for this and future generations to come. The Global Campus is a unique and amazing global network of Universities, academics, and scholars who commit to sustainable change for all people – no matter where on the planet”
