The Faculty of Law and Administration and the Faculty of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Warsaw offer a Master's Programme in Humanitarian Action that provides students with comprehensive education and training in the field of international humanitarian action. The programme emphasizes critical thinking and research skills to develop interdisciplinary trained personnel with enhanced professionalism and a full understanding of the social, political, legal, cultural, and security environment. The goal is to produce graduates who can provide quality services in the broad field of humanitarian relief and are informed on their theoretical insights and humanitarian principles.
One of the distinctive features of this Master's programme is its mobility option, where students undertake two semesters of mobility, the second of which is an introduction to their own research in a selected part of the world, continued during the preparation of their master's thesis. This option provides students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in the field of humanitarian aid in governmental, non-governmental, and international organizations, institutions, and contexts. The mobility option is made possible through the cooperation with partner universities associated with NOHA (Network on Humanitarian Action).
The curriculum of the programme is interdisciplinary and specialized, offering education primarily in the area of political science and law but also in management, anthropology, and public health. The curriculum includes several practical elements, such as simulations and an obligatory internship, which enhances the graduates' prospects on the job market.
