About the Program

Graduates of the master’s programme in Peace and Conflict Studies will be able to deal with relevant problems that reflect the current state of knowledge in peace and conflict studies using scientific approaches, concepts and methods in a subject-specific, independent and practice-oriented manner. Academic areas in which graduates will acquire special knowledge and expertise as preparatory scientific training are the multi- and transdisciplinary contexts of peace and conflict research in an international and intersectional perspective. The master’s programme provides academic education and action-oriented training in teamwork and development, diversity and identity, inclusion, capacity development and intercultural communication, and promotes the use of digital media as complementary teaching and learning environments. The primary qualification of graduates is science-based prevention, mediation and transformation of violent relationships in mission-relevant areas. Graduates will possess substantial methodological skills in application-oriented areas of peace and conflict research, which are of practical relevance for many professional fields beyond the boundaries of the discipline.
