Course Overview

Address the global challenges of poverty and violence by linking theory and practice and make a positive difference in the lives of people around the world. This is your opportunity to develop your awareness of the relationships between peace, conflict resolution, and development both nationally and internationally.

You will consider issues such as gender, poverty, employment, human rights, and the role of civil society and community participation in decision-making and governance. From security threats and terrorism to the arms trade and non-violent social movements, you will acquire an in-depth insight into contemporary global issues. You will study the political, economic, cultural, environmental, and technological changes that influence development decisions.

We place a real emphasis on international debate and your teaching will be delivered in small groups involving students from around the world, giving you access to a range of cultural perspectives to inform your learning. We will also provide you with skills in project management and you will learn how to draw up funding applications, competencies essential for working in the field.

You will benefit by being taught by our highly qualified team of academics who are renowned in their fields of research. Our research in peace and development keeps our curriculum fresh and cutting-edge.

Staff members have close working links with organizations such as Oxfam, Amnesty International, Pugwash, The Swiss Small Arms Survey, The Omega Foundation, The Mines Advisory Group, CND, Aegis, Huridocs, and the Department for International Development (DfID), and we encourage students to engage with relevant external organizations and conferences.
