As the University of Sydney is open to admission for the course of Master’s degree program in Human Rights and Democratization (Asia Pacfic), it has also announced the availability of 34 scholarships for the region. These scholarships have been made possible due to the support of the European Commission.
The Master of Human rights and Democratization (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 course 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.
34 scholarships, covering course fees and a living and travel allowance, 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 Commission.
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 democratization.
