What will I learn?

Understand the nature and significance of conflict as a human condition. Develop the skills to prevent violent conflict, mitigate its catastrophic effects, and reconstruct societies in its aftermath. Embedded in our world renowned Conflict Analysis Research Centre, leading experts will help you explore the dynamics of deep-seated conflict and learn how states, international organisations, NGOs, and individuals can work towards enduring peace.

Overview

Gain the knowledge you need to pursue a career in international peace-keeping, crisis diplomacy, post-conflict reconstruction, and sustainable development. Focused case studies and interactive simulations will build your understanding of negotiation, mediation, diplomacy and third party intervention. Our alumni, who form an international network, have used this programme as a spring board into foreign offices and diplomatic services, international organisations such as the UN, EU and OECD, and NGOs including IRC and Amnesty International.
