LE MASTER CONJOINT NOHA

As part of the Master - Humanitarian Action and Law in Aix-en-Provence, we welcome a small number of students who register directly for the joint NOHA Master.

These students follow a first semester in Aix-en-Provence before continuing their training in one of the partner universities.

They also have access to a series of thematic training courses.

In the second semester, the Faculty of Aix-en-Provence welcomes other students of the NOHA joint Master from other universities, who come to complete their training.

The NOHA Master brochure is available here.

Website of NOHA Network

With a record number of people around the world affected by conflicts and disasters, humanitarian action is a highly relevant, dynamic and demanding field. NOHA was born from the idea that higher education institutions and academia have an essential role to play in the humanitarian sector by offering international, multidisciplinary education, training and research. 

 

Over the past 20 years, the NOHA network has expanded and now comprises universities from 12 European as well as 5 global partner universities on different continents. 

 

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree Programme in International Humanitarian Action is an inter-university multidisciplinary postgraduate programme that provides high quality academic education and professional competences for personnel working or intending to work in the area of humanitarian action.
