Extracurricular

During this programme, you will have the opportunity to participate in a number of extracurricular activities that will enhance your studies, such as:

• Throughout the year, students take part in Weekly Lectures which gives them the opportunity to share and know the work of distinguished scholars and human rights practitioners. Similarly, students receive information on seminars and activities that take place both within and outside the Faculty.
