Why study International Law and Human Rights at the University of Tartu?
- Students can obtain comprehensive knowledge of international law and human rights. All students are given strong ground knowledge in international law and human rights. Then they can expand their expertise in specific areas, depending on their needs and interests, by taking various elective courses.
- The programme aims to provide an excellent comparative perspective on the issues of international law and human rights, relying on our historical experience and geographical position — Estonia is located where the "West" and the "East" meet.
- Practice is a compulsory component of the programme, allowing students to apply acquired knowledge in different practical situations and develop practical skills in a professional environment.
- The School of Law is one of the oldest faculties of the University of Tartu, where lawyers have been educated since the university was founded in 1632. Our alumni form 87% of the attorneys-at-law, 95% of the prosecutors and nearly all of the judges in Estonia. Also, Estonia's previous and current judges at the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union obtained their degrees at the University of Tartu.
- Studies take place in the capital, Tallinn, where various international organisations and relevant state institutions are located, allowing us to incorporate their representatives and experience into the teaching process and find practice places with them.
