Find more info on the SUSTJUSTICE courses here (scroll down to 'Module Sustainable Development and Global Justice')

The teaching in these courses is complemented by the Project Week at the end of the program.

The courses on “International Law and Sustainable Development” and “Human Rights and Global Justice” provide a solid basis for a critical understanding of the relationships between international (human rights) law, sustainable development and global justice.

The course “Law and the Global Economic Governance of Development” zooms in on external (economic and financial) interventions in developing countries, whereas the course “Law and the Ecological Crises” provides students with key notions and intellectual tools to better understand and engage with the link between law, climate change and other interconnected global concerns.

All four courses include several examination components that test the knowledge and skills developed within the course. It is compulsory to participate in all examination components in each of the courses to pass. Those participants who pass all the four courses receive a certification of successful completion, while others receive a certificate of participation. Participants also receive a certificate mentioning their scores in each course. For more information on the courses, look at the 'Module Sustainable Development and Global Justice' of the Faculty's English Master of Laws (LLM)

SUSTJUSTICE features interactive teaching with academics from both the North and the South as well as networking opportunities with experts from the North, both researchers and practitioners in the field.
