MA Programme in Peace and Conflict Studies

This Master’s programme specifically offers a unique perspective into the field that allows for criticism, reflection and reimagination. Within the frame of decolonial education, this Master’s programme focuses on a philosophical approach to Peace and Conflict Studies that fosters critical engagement with the discipline. Therefore, the interdisciplinary program offers insights from multiple angles such as international development, peace education, conflict transformation and crisis management. Next to this, practical excursions foster teamwork, personal development and training in simulated stress and conflict situations. Thus, this programme specifically offers a balanced study of critical decolonial education and practice-oriented experiences that prepares the student for leadership roles in international, national or regional institutions focusing on conflict/crisis management and peace work.
