Brussels School of International Studies of the University of Kent at Brussels (Brussels, Belgium)

Masters of Art in International Conflict Analysis

Conflict, in its many forms, is a permanent feature of human society, but the nature of conflict and the uses of violence change: intra-state conflicts and transnational terrorism pose new problems for global governance. Our MA in International Conflict Analysis is known around the world for its unique approach to understanding the underlying causes for conflict in order better to appreciate the effects, dynamics, and possibilities for conflict management, settlement, and resolution. We supply our students with practical knowledge of current challenges, taught by academics and practitioners in the field, better to prepare our graduates for challenging careers in government, international organizations, or non-governmental organizations.

MA in Conflict and Sustainable Peace

The Master of Conflict and Sustainable Peace is a transdisciplinary program that aims to provide a better insight in potential and existing violent conflicts, both on the national and international level, and to teach students to develop strategies of conflict transformation, violence prevention and sustainable peace building.

To realize this objective, students will get acquainted:

  1. with the relevant descriptive, explanatory, normative, predictive and prescriptive methods of analysis;
  2. with the limits and possibilities of different disciplines for understanding violent political conflicts and the necessity of a transdisciplinary approach;
  3. with tools for the management of political, organizational and interpersonal conflicts.
