International Peace Studies (M.Phil.(Peace Studies) / P.Grad.Dip.)

Students are required to take the two core modules: The Politics of Peace and Conflict; and Research Methods.

Students then choose four other modules from a list of electives. A sufficient number of optional modules must be taken to fulfill credit requirements. Electives offered in recent years include: Armed Conflict, Peace-building and Development; The United Nations and Conflict Resolution; Human Rights in Theory and Practice; Gender, War and Peace; Gender Theories; Forced, Displacement, Conflict and Peacebuilding; Religion, Conflict and Peace in International Relations; and NGOs in Theory and Practice: Internship Module.

Modules from the M.Phil. in Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies are open to students on the M.Phil. in International Peace Studies. Students may take up to two modules from this other course.

Students must complete a research dissertation of 15,000-20,000 words, to be supervised by an appropriate member of staff.

Students who complete the taught element of the programme but not the dissertation may be eligible for the Postgraduate Diploma.
