The MSc in Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding is an innovative, interdisciplinary cutting-edge programme designed to provide students with crucial opportunities to explore the political, social, economic, legal, and psychological dimensions shaping the transformation of different forms of violent conflict. The programme arrives at a critical juncture, when global manifestations of conflict are both escalating and becoming more diverse, at the same time as the current conflict transformation and peacebuilding paradigm is under review.

The MSc in Conflict, Territories, and Identities focuses on the interplay between (inter)national conflicts and the identities and borders in the minds of people. Learn to look beyond the violent conflict itself by also paying attention to practices of post-conflict reconstruction.

Who gains from situations of conflict? In what ways can violence affect development? What are the challenges to post-conflict reconstruction? This pioneering MSc Violence, Conflict and Development programme explores the complex links between violent conflict and development, both historically and today.

Our MSc International Conflict and Cooperation gives you the chance to address a variety of challenges facing states and international organisations today. Interact with policymakers and potential employers on a study trip to Geneva.
