The University of Cyprus (UCY) offers a dynamic Masters in Peace, Conflict & Democracy.
Located in Nicosia, this international and interdisciplinary programme is designed to equip students with the theoretical, methodological and practical skills required to understand central issues and challenges in the study of peace, conflict and democracy globally. Our teaching reflects the cutting-edge research conducted by our academic staff in different regions of the world, signposting the global orientation of the programme.
Students will have the chance to explore a wide range of topics taught by political scientists, sociologists, journalists and anthropologists, exposing students to different disciplinary approaches to the study of peace, conflict and democratic transformation.
We also offer a unique internship programme, allowing students to immerse themselves in the local community while also improving their employability skills.
The MA in Peace, Conflict & Democracy is structured to offer students the knowledge and experience required for a successful career in a range of governmental, corporate, non-governmental and international organisations, whilst also developing their research skills to facilitate the transition to doctoral research.
The programme’s duration is 18 months (90 ECTS), with students attending taught courses geared towards developing their theoretical, methodological and practical skills in the first two semesters. Upon successful completion of taught courses, in the third semester, students work on their own independent research project (dissertation), under the supervision of an experienced faculty member.
