The Graduate Diploma in Human Security and Peacebuilding is a one-year, interdisciplinary graduate program.
You see peacebuilding as a broad concept — one that transforms societies through short-term development initiatives that become long-term, sustainable peace processes.
Globally, there’s growing demand for leadership in this field. Leaders like you. Join professionals working in humanitarian aid, social reconstruction, conflict management and peacebuilding.
This diploma program is designed for working professionals and university graduates aspiring to work in human security and peacebuilding. You'll build an understanding of the complex relationships between economic, political, and social development, and human security.
It's also for those who want to advance their professional practice in conflict-related contexts. To do so, you'll learn theoretical and practical skills to help restore peace and civil society.
Program outcomes
Once you have completed this program, you'll be able to work in complex conflict/humanitarian scenarios, use conflict resolution mechanisms to develop peaceful solutions, and communicate effectively to exert strong leadership and empathy in humanitarian crises.
These skills will allow you to work in humanitarian fields, international and domestic non-governmental organizations, and police and military organizations.
