Overview

The Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution programme from University of Bradford will develop your understanding of the causes and dynamics of conflict and violence in a range of settings. It will support you in making informed judgements about when and how to engage constructively with conflict. You will weigh up the strengths and limitations of different approaches to intervention and consider critical questions surrounding efforts to build peace in different contexts.

Through a diverse programme of study, including a significant applied, practical element, you will develop knowledge and competencies essential to effective, ethically aware and reflective practice within conflict engagement and peacebuilding practice - locally, nationally or internationally.

Career prospects

There is an increasing demand for professional education relating to careers in peace and humanitarian work internationally. You’ll develop the skills required by employers in this area, such as conflict analysis, leadership and decision-making, making you highly employable as a graduate.

The programme is also designed to meet the needs and expectations of early/mid-career professionals looking to take the next step in their career.

Our postgraduate politics courses were ranked 2nd in the UK for employability in the 2018 Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES).
