Academic Courses and Programmes
The Centre, together with the Centre for Human Rights of the University of Pretoria, the University of Makerere of Uganda and the University of Ghana, jointly offers a course in the LLM on Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa degree.
From 2001 to 2003, the Project's Senior
Researcher presented lectures on social, economic and cultural rights
as part of the module on comparative human rights offered in this
course. In the second semester of each year, the Centre hosts between
six and seven students from the programme.
The social, economic and cultural rights course presented by the
Project's Senior Researcher, forms part of the compulsory requirements
that students have to fulfil for the successful completion of this
degree. Two of the students hosted at the Centre served
mini-internships with the Project.
The Centre staff also gave ad hoc lectures on socio-economic rights at
academic institutions both in South Africa and abroad. In 2003, the
Project's Senior Researcher designed and taught a training course on
socio-economic rights aimed at non-governmental organisations and
officials in the SADC region. This course was presented from 9-13 June
as part of the Good Governance Academy presented by the Centre for
Human Rights of the University of Pretoria.
