Scholarships for Master of Human Rights and Democratisation at the University of Sydney

October 10th, 2012

The University of Sydney, Australia is accepting applications for study and for scholarships in the Master of Human Rights and Democratisation (Asia Pacific).

The MHRD is a unique Master degree program in which students undertake a foundational semester of study at the University of Sydney, and then a second semester at one of the four partner universities:

• Gadjah Mada University (Indonesia)
• Mahidol University (Thailand)
• Katmandu School of Law (Nepal)
• University of Colombo (Sri Lanka)

Graduates of the program will gain an interdisciplinary understanding of human rights and democratisation in the Asia Pacific, and will have opportunities to research and examine the application of human rights and democratisation in the field with the partner institutions.

Graduates will have both the ability to undertake independent scholarly research on current issues pertaining to human rights and democratisation in the Asia Pacific and skills to put their academic understanding and practical experience to use in real situations.

People  who have a strong commitment to, or experience of working on issues about human rights and democratisation can apply for this degree. It will strongly benefit people already working in, or seeking to work in the fields of human rights and democratisation in our region.

20 partial scholarships, covering course fees and a stipend will be offered to outstanding applicants from across the Asia Pacific region. This is made possible with the support of a significant grant from the European Union, through the European Inter-University Centre.

Scholarships will be available to citizens of Asia Pacific countries. The award of scholarships will be determined by academic qualifications and potential contribution to human rights and democratisation.

The submission deadline for scholarship applications is 3 December 2012. For more information, visit this link.
