This minor is for anyone interested in international affairs. Through a focus on the international public sector, you will learn about the various aspects of international conflicts and the international legal system that tries to end and prevent conflicts in the world.  

Students of all specializations may enroll for this minor. The classes are taught in English, so proof of higher than average command of English is therefore necessary. Furthermore, students have an opportunity to build on these skills, as the minor will elevate your English to Cambridge Advanced or Professional level. 

Part I (15 EC) 

In part 1 of this minor, the student will focus on the international legal system within the context of international relations and intercultural sensitivity. Part I ends with a project in which these elements, as well as the English language requirements for the Cambridge CAE level, are tested. 

Part II (15 EC) 

Students who choose to continue with the second part of the minor, will dive deeper into these themes by studying human rights and sociology, as well as follow classes on working in complex situations and English at the CPE level. Part II of the minor ends with a project in which all aspects of Parts I and II are used. 

Students who finish these parts successfully will also be awarded the certificate C1 Cambridge Advanced English (or C2 Cambridge 'Near Native Speaker).
