This is a syllabus for the course "The Age of Human Rights" (Capstone course – International Relations & International Law) designed for the University College Groningen (UCG), University of Groningen (the Netherlands). The syllabus is designed by taking into consideration the UCG’s focus on project-based education and it is further inspired by the design thinking approach to education.

This course aims to do two things. Firstly, to provide a good knowledge base on what international human rights are and what mechanisms exist to implement, supervise and enforce them. Secondly, to discuss in a critical manner how international human rights thinking has become inextricably linked to almost all areas of international cooperation. Students are asked to critically analyse specific human rights issues from a multi- or interdisciplinary perspective, thereby drawing upon information from the various disciplinary fields that they have covered in their programmes.

The first part of the course (6 sessions) is used to create the relevant knowledge base through interactive lectures. In the second part of the course (12 sessions), students are asked to work in small subgroups on particular issue areas which will be chosen in consultation with the instructors. The course concludes with a half-day conference on human rights in which the participating students act as panel members (this may be subject to change).

This text Provides a detailed analysis of whether the substantive applicable law in investor-state arbitration, national, international, or a combination of both.

This is a syllabus for the Leadership Masterclasses designed for the Honours Master Programme, University of Groningen (the Netherlands).

The main aim of the Masterclass is to challenge students to test their own ideas on the relationship between leadership and innovative thinking and dissidence. By the end of the Masterclass, students will be able to:

▪ Understand and explain the role of innovative thinking and dissidence in producing and progressing different fields of research;
▪ Analyse and assess the role of inter-cultural understanding in making leadership decisions;
▪ Value interdisciplinary approaches in tacking global challenges;
▪ Critically reflect on how to apply these insights to their own future professions.

The Masterclass has a concrete compass: the students study, by way of example, the work of Judge and Professor at the University of Groningen Bert Röling who introduced new ways to look at international law and created news fields of interdisciplinary research.

An Introduction to the Humanities

Short Description:
This multimedia reader examines how people use a humanities lens to make sense of what they experience, as well as share their experiences with the rest of the world. The information is presented using a pedagogical approach called reverse teaching, which introduces artifacts in their historical, social, political, personal, and other contexts. Along with the narrative, questions for creative and critical thinking prompt the reader to practice self-exploration.
