Violent conflicts are on the rise, with climate change increasingly linked to conflict, often affecting the most vulnerable. Understanding education's role in conflict, emergencies, and peace is crucial for shaping effective policy and practice. Our Education and International Development: Conflict, Emergencies and Peace MA offers a transformative exploration of education's role in addressing violent conflicts and crises. The course offers an in-depth understanding of conflict analysis and peacebuilding in the context of education. It equips students with the knowledge, skills, and insights necessary to better understand the complexities of conflict-affected environments and foster sustainable peace.
A minimum of a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an equivalent overseas qualification is required. Relevant experience living or working in low- or middle-income countries, particularly in relation to education in conflict, emergency, crisis situations, or international development, is also usually expected. However, applicants who do not meet these professional criteria may be considered if they submit an exceptional personal statement demonstrating a strong understanding of the subject area and field. Applicants should demonstrate commitment and genuine interest in issues relating to education in conflict and crisis situations.
