Peace and Conflict Studies Liverpool Hope University

Overview

The Peace and Conflict Studies programme from Liverpool Hope University cohorts will learn theories and dynamics of conflict, conflict resolution, post-conflict reconstruction and the role of states, international organisations and other political actors from the Global North and the Global South. 

Together, we will visualise how global balance can be restored by addressing the issues of exploitation, global inequalities and environmental pollution, which threatens the survival of indigenous communities across the globe. Our feminist and anti-racist outlook gives our course a more up-to date and social justice focused agenda compared to our competitors, taught in a student-centred and supportive environment. 

We offer an opportunity for the students to write their dissertations in cooperation with the industry, thereby securing valuable contacts and establishing potential for employment in global institutions, NGOs or charities who work on improving the conditions for social justice in the world, and particularly the Global South.

Career opportunities:

Students with an MA in Peace and Conflict Studies can gain access to a wide variety of leadership roles, including jobs in global organisations such as the United Nations institutions, international NGOs, charities, and civil society. Organisations committed to the principles of global justice, diversity, equality and inclusion in general welcome applicants who have a background in this type of degree. Global careers can range from anything from aid and project planning, research and policy development and analysis, rural and urban development in the Global South, and environmental preservation, but also global media, local government or international charity work.
