MA Politics and Human Rights at MG University (MGU) Offline Course

Master of Arts (M.A.) in Politics and Human Rights is a full-time two-year postgraduate course offered by the School of Gandhian Thought and Development Studies at Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam.

Human Rights (H.R) has been an established subject and critical domain of politics and international relations (IR) for more than half a century. The concepts and concerns of HR have, however, been expanding during the last three hundred years incorporating a wide range of subjects and rights, which transcend political, ideological and cultural differences/peculiarities of the countries as well as the peoples across the world. The post war international system has further witnessed the emergence of the world HR culture with liberty, emancipation, education and universalism as integral components of that culture.
