M.A. International Criminal Justice

International Criminal Justice is a relatively new field of teaching and research that has increasingly gained attention in academic education since the 1990s. Building on the ICWC’s many years of interdisciplinary teaching and research experience, and in collaboration with the Departments of Law, History and Cultural Studies, as well as Social Sciences and Philosophy, Philipps-University Marburg has been offering the interdisciplinary and innovative Master’s program "International Criminal Justice: Law, History, Politics" (ICJ) leading to a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree since the winter semester 2020/2021.

The four-semester Master’s program admits 15 students per year from a variety of academic backgrounds. It is designed for law graduates who have completed the First State Examination, as well as for holders of a Bachelor’s degree—or a comparable nationally or internationally recognized professional qualification—in fields such as law, history, social sciences, philosophy, economics, media studies, psychology, regional studies, geography, religious studies, gender studies, archival and documentation studies, or translation studies.

Graduates of the Master’s program "International Criminal Justice: Law, History, Politics" enter the job market with solid interdisciplinary knowledge, as well as professional, methodological, social, and personal competencies that are in demand across a wide range of career fields.

Furthermore, students are encouraged to participate in various international opportunities, such as summer schools, Erasmus programs, and moot courts.
