In this MA or Graduate Diploma in Peace and Development Studies, students investigate debates about the origins and nature of conflict and explore a range of approaches to conflict resolution. Contemporary cases of conflict and responses to these are examined, as are the connections between peacebuilding and (economic, political and human) development. Considering that the vast majority of international organisations working on humanitarian issues currently understand that peace, security and development are deeply interrelated areas of their work, this programme takes a much-needed holistic view of the post-conflict environment to provide graduates with the skills and knowledge which are needed for effective work in this area or for further study.
