Peace and Conflict Studies

Summary

Reconstruction and reconciliation are vital to effective conflict resolution, or “peace-making,” as is understanding and addressing the underlying causes of said conflict.

The MSc in Peace and Conflict Studies familiarises students with the dynamics of well-developed approaches to conflict resolution (or “peace-making”) and the more recent mechanisms of post-conflict peacebuilding which have developed over the past twenty years.

You will explore the processes through which state and non-state actors have attempted to define and build peace in areas affected by conflict and examine the intersection and overlap between peacebuilding theory and these processes. You will also learn to critically examine the limits to and challenges of administering mechanisms for peace, justice and development within conflict-affected societies, and the ongoing challenges for both of local ownership, evaluation, and sustainability.

This MSc programme will provide you with in-depth knowledge of peacebuilding theories and methods, as well as the skills necessary to pursue a career in conflict intervention and peacebuilding practice. It will also provide an essential base for those wishing to pursue PhD and related studies in Peace and Conflict Studies, conflict resolution or peacebuilding in the social sciences.
