Do the values of dignity, participation and accountability connect with the work that you do?
Are you interested in promoting the principles of human rights, such as participative democracy and social responsibility?
Do you want a qualification that recognises and supports the vital day-to-day work you already do?
The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) are working together to deliver a 'Work Based Learning' Masters in Citizenship and Human Rights.
You can find out more about the programme and apply on the GCU website, or alternatively contact a member of the SCVO team using the details at the bottom of this page.
What our students have said...
"I feel much more confident and have been able to apply the learning to my work, including my international work with World YWCA, applying a human rights based approach to our work in Scotland, and analysing our strategic plan. I have also been able to share practice with other students from a variety of organisations that I would not have had contact with otherwise."
Rachael O'Byrne, YWCA Scotland
"I have really enjoyed the course. The support in delivering a work-based project is great as it helps you work on a real issue, identify what you are trying to change and how best to go about it. It has built my confidence and skills to deliver training in-house which is more practical and cost-effective than sourcing an external provider. Being part of a mixed student group has also been great for sharing a wide range of personal and professional experiences"
Liz Scott, Highlands & Islands Enterprise (HIE)
