Welcome to the Human Rights Clinic!

How are fundamental rights—which are also human rights—actually enforced in practice? How does this work outside of the courtroom—for example, through legal counseling, advocacy by associations, within international organizations, and in politics?

The Humboldt Law Clinic for Fundamental and Human Rights—the Human Rights Clinic—offers a unique opportunity to learn and work for a year as part of a team, in an interdisciplinary setting, and in cooperation with civil society organizations. The Human Rights Clinic teaches the skills needed to take action yourself. It collaborates with institutions and organizations and benefits from guest speakers with practical experience.

The application portal for the 17th cycle of the Human Rights Clinic is now closed.

Thank you very much for the numerous applications! We will be sending out acceptance notifications over the next few days. In some cases, there may still be an opportunity to join the programme if places become available.

If you weren’t able to join us this year, don’t be discouraged. We’d be very happy to receive your application again next year!

Your Clinic-Team
