Course summary

If you are interested to learn about the new regional conflicts and global destabilisation, but wanting to focus more on peacebuilding, conflict-resolution and improving the state of global social justice, then this is the course for you. MA Peace and Conflict studies aims to provide the students with an in-depth understanding of contemporary wars and conflict, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, as well as the most straightforward routes towards peacebuilding. Our cohorts will learn theories and dynamics of conflict, conflict resolution, post-conflict reconstruction and the role of states, international organisations and other political actors from the Global North and the Global South. Together, we will visualise how global balance can be restored by addressing the issues of exploitation, global inequalities and environmental pollution, which threatens the survival of indigenous communities across the globe. Our feminist and anti-racist outlook gives our course a more up-to date and social justice focused agenda compared to our competitors, taught in a student-centred and supportive environment. We offer an opportunity for the students to write their dissertations in cooperation with the industry, thereby securing valuable contacts and establishing potential for employment in global institutions, NGOs or charities who work on improving the conditions for social justice in the world, and particularly the Global South.
