This program provides a distinctive chance to explore peace and conflict within a dynamic community transitioning from a history of violence. Delivered by distinguished scholars from Ulster University's International Conflict Research Institute (INCORE), this globally recognized master's program enables students to engage in an interdisciplinary graduate curriculum marked by scholarly rigor, set against the backdrop of a culturally diverse society recovering from conflict. The MSc in Peace and Conflict Studies draws participants from various nations and academic disciplines, emphasizing critical analysis of conflict origins and outcomes while exploring peacebuilding theories and practices—particularly relevant given its foundation in a post-conflict environment.
Recent decades have witnessed significant global shifts, including escalating ethnic tensions and growing calls for nonviolent solutions and regional rehabilitation. Consequently, there's increasing need for skilled professionals to address diverse peace and conflict challenges. INCORE's research and policy work spans both local and international contexts, mirrored in the program's curriculum, which aims to improve career prospects in both academic and practical applications of peace and conflict studies.
