It is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skillset needed to pursue conflict resolution as a career, working in NGOs, humanitarian agencies, diplomacy, think tanks, academia, consultancy, journalism, and law. You will learn how conflict can be resolved peacefully through a range of tools like complex constitutional engineering, truth and reconciliation processes, and grassroots movements.
