    I would like to take this course related to human right but, what will happen at the end, after having finished these courses? wil I get a certificate at the end? And how can we have syllabus for learning here is my question
  • Tetiana Vorobiova
    I've taken this course a couple of years ago, but I still use the knowledge gained from this course. It is very well structured and convenient. As someone who has interest in the topic of Human Rights, but had no knowledge basis, I found this course to be a great foundation for further learning.
