Throughout this course, you’ll explore the core challenges of conflict and humanitarian crises, using real-world case studies and research from across the planet.
During your academic studies, you’ll focus on enhancing your knowledge of the practical tools and approaches used to respond to peacebuilding, development, human rights and humanitarian response challenges. This will give you a deep understanding of the complexities of resolving conflict, promoting peace and providing adequate and relevant assistance.
Flexibility and real-world knowledge

During the Residential Weeks, you'll also meet and work with your cohort and academic staff. This will help you to build a strong professional network to take into your future career.
