 Peace and Conflict Studies (master's - 2 years)

Peace and Conflict Studies
The programme offers studies of peace and conflict related issues through two study options, one in political science and one in history. Conflict between groups and states is a recurrent worldwide phenomenon. Why do some of these conflicts turn violent, while others remain non-violent? Peace and conflict studies aim at answering this and a wide range of other questions about the causes of conflicts and the conditions for peace.
