    Master of Peace and Conflict Studies (Advanced)

    About

    For millions worldwide, the threat or reality of violent conflict is a daily reality. The Master of Peace and Conflict Studies equips students with the knowledge and skills to understand the nature of peace and conflict, the causes and experiences of violence, and the many ways in which national and international bodies can respond to those challenges. The program brings together diverse disciplinary insights, demonstrating how the different ways we interpret peace and conflict can influence what we see, what we respond to, and how we may judge success and failure. Drawing particularly on the Asia Pacific but with a global outlook, this award equips its graduates with the abilities to work in a wide range of private, civil society, and governmental organisations. The Master of Peace and Conflict Studies (Advanced) also enables students to undertake a substantial independent research project, with appropriate research training, to develop deep expertise in a particular dimension of Peace and Conflict Studies.
