EXECUTIVE MASTER ON CHILDREN'S RIGHTS
2005-2006

Debut of new cycle of academic children's rights programme

The Executive Master on Children's Rights (EMCR) is a part-time two-year
postgraduate programme on children's rights, organised conjointly by the
University of Fribourg and the Institut Universitaire Kurt Bösch (IUKB),
both in Switzerland. The EMCR is an interdisciplinary and international
programme with graduate students coming from all over the world with
various disciplinary backgrounds and field experiences in children's
rights. The 2005-2006 cycle of this two-year programme starts on 14
February 2005; the deadline for applications is 15 October 2004.

The Executive Master is designed for professionals who work with
children's rights issues, including lawyers, psychologists, sociologists,
judges, social workers, government officials, staff of non-governmental
organisations, academics and journalists. The programme takes place over a
two-year period and requires participants to be present 4 weeks per year,
allowing participants to combine the work for this Executive Master with
professional duties. The study programme is made up of different modes of
teaching, including residential modules and distance-learning methods,
such as compulsory reading, group work, setting up an individual training
programme, practical training and preparing a research paper (master's
thesis).

Each module of the Executive Master considers a specific theme: (1)
Children's rights in context, (2) International legal instruments on
children's rights, (3) The general principles of the CRC, (4) Child
labour, (5) Armed conflict, trafficking and sexual exploitation, (6)
Juvenile justice, (7) Child protection and (8) Implementation and
monitoring strategies. The mandatory modules take place in Switzerland,
alternately at the University of Fribourg and at IUKB in Sion/Bramois.

The tuition fee amounts to 6'500 Euros (approximately 10'150 CHF / 7'700
USD), which does not include travel and living expenses.
