Overview
Key Features
The Human Security and Peacebuilding program from Royal Roads University is a two-year, interdisciplinary graduate program.
You see peacebuilding as a broad concept — one that transforms societies through short-term development initiatives that become long-term, sustainable peace processes.
Globally, there’s growing demand for leadership in this field. Join professionals working in humanitarian aid, social reconstruction, conflict management and peacebuilding.
It's also for those who want to advance their professional practice in conflict-related and post-conflict contexts. To do so, it provides you with theoretical and practical skills to help restore peace and civil society.
Once you have completed this program, you'll be able to work in complex conflict/humanitarian scenarios, use conflict resolution mechanisms to develop peaceful solutions, and communicate effectively to exert strong leadership and empathy in humanitarian crises.
These skills will allow you to work in humanitarian fields, international and domestic non-governmental organizations, and police and military organizations.
