The MA in Governance and Human Rights at Leuphana University Lüneburg in Germany is a two-year, part-time, distance-learning programme designed for working professionals with experience or interest in development, politics, business, the non-profit sector, or international organisations. The programme connects governance theory with practical application, teaching students to analyse legal and political theories of governance alongside international and regional human rights regimes. Delivered primarily online with two in-person attendance phases in Lüneburg each year, the programme is taught exclusively in English. Project-based learning is central to the curriculum — students design, plan, and realise their own project addressing a practical governance and human rights challenge. Across 14 modules, students develop skills in human rights advocacy, campaigning, project management, and organisational leadership. The programme is recommended and listed as an official human rights training programme by the Human Rights Education Network of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. Total tuition is €9,900, with instalment payments available, plus a semester contribution of approximately €210. Applicants need a first university degree, one year of professional experience, and advanced English proficiency. The application deadline is May 31 each year, with study starting in September. The programme is accredited by FIBAA.
