MASTER IN PEACE AND CONFLICT STUDIES
Peace Studies is a new interdisciplinary, problem-preventive and solving oriented Program. The problem it addresses is simple to pose: How can we humans manage the conflicts between us so that these conflicts result in justice and creative development rather than destruction.
These conflicts may be international (such as the conflict between Israel-Arab conflicts) or within a society (such as the conflict between rich and poor, ethnic groups, and families), or personal (between roommates or within ourselves). Hence, the problem of managing conflict exists in three spheres: In our own personal lives (within us and in our personal relationships), in local communities and the society in which we live, and in our relations with other states and nations in the world.
Students are required to take 120 credit units to qualify graduation. A final project is also required under the supervision of assigned faculty
