Peace and Conflict Transformation - master

The Master's degree programme in Peace and Conflict Transformation offers critical and interdisciplinary insights into the nature, causes, and effects of conflicts, as well as practical skills for addressing conflicts through peaceful means.

The Norwegian High North provides a unique setting for studying the transformation of relationships between individuals, groups, and institutions—from destructive to constructive bonds. The programme is intentionally based in the city of Tromsø, which has a long history of fostering peaceful co-existence among local ethnic and cultural groups.

During the first year, students will attend compulsory courses that explore core debates and perspectives in the field of peace and conflict studies.

The second year primarily focuses on the Master's Thesis, which students develop with guidance from academic staff, based on their individual interests within the field of peace and conflict.
