The master’s program is primarily aimed at social sciences graduates (social work, psychology, pedagogy, sociology, law, theology), but also at all those who interact directly with children in their profession. With a focus on how the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child can be implemented, graduates of the program are intended to have the knowledge and abilities needed to comprehend children and childhood from an interdisciplinary perspective. Recognizing the importance of social investment in children and childhood, there is a great need for professionals dedicated to promoting and protecting children’s rights. The delivery of social services for children and families is increasingly focused on a rights-based approach. Graduates will have opportunities for further employment as specialists in public and private institutions in the country and abroad, as well as in research institutes. The European Master in Children’s Rights is part of the European Network of Masters in Children’s Rights. This ensures European collaboration and exchanges between teaching staff and students enrolled in this master, as well as mutual recognition of academic degrees.
