The main goal of this master's degree is to create an international, intercultural and interdisciplinary learning community in which the peaceful transformation of conflicts is fostered by recognising, respecting and understanding diverse cultures and ways of life. Sometimes, the students – who come from different countries – have experienced wars and violent conflicts directly, and this makes the discussion richer and facilitates the search for alternatives to face unfair situations in a peaceful manner. The lecturers come from renowned universities, organisations and institutions worldwide, which contributes to providing the programme with an international and intercultural profile.

MA Peace and Conflict Studies
This interdisciplinary MA explores the processes through which actors have attempted to define and build peace in areas affected by war and violence, particularly since the end of the Cold War. Drawing on expertise from the fields of politics, history, anthropology and the arts, this newly revamped course will offer you the opportunity to engage with conflict management, conflict resolution, conflict transformation, peacebuilding and statebuilding theories and practices. Moreover, the programme will critically address the conceptualization of peace and the implementation of peacebuilding projects by global, regional, national and local actors, including the UN, the International Financial Institutions, development agencies and donors, INGOs, and local organisations in conflict-affected environments. In particular, it will focus on social agency for peace, the question of the nature of the `peaceful state', and the ever-fraught question of the reform of the international system.

SOAS University of London
Violence, Conflict & Development
This programme examines the analytical, political and policy relationships between violence, conflict and development. The core module addresses empirical trends, difficulties of data collection and the importance of categorisation and boundaries to matters of violence. It goes on to present foundational theories on conflict and violence, including gender perspectives, debates about the origins of human violence (anthropological, historical, psychological sources of violence) and the role of violence in historical change. The focus then shifts to the means, mechanisms and markers of violence, including themes related to boundaries, war economies, inequality, land and the environment. This provides the basis for analysing interventions in the violent conflict including humanitarian aid, conflict resolution and reconstruction.
