Master’s Degree in Human Rights, Migration and International Cooperation

The Master's Degree in Human Rights, Migration and International Cooperation is offered by the Department of Law of the University of Bergamo. It integrates legal, economic, historical-political and anthropological disciplines, with lectures, seminars, workshops, e-learning and tutoring. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years, is worth 120 credits and is taught in person in Bergamo. The language is Italian, with a requirement of a European language at B2 level (the page also cites B1 among the requirements). Training internships are compulsory during the programme.

The aim is to train professionals able to address issues related to migration flows and international cooperation and to design sustainable development interventions aligned with the 2030 Agenda. Career outcomes are international institutions, public bodies, NGOs, research centres, multinational companies and development cooperation. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
