Located in Nicosia, this international and interdisciplinary program 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, highlighting the global orientation of the program. Students will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of topics taught by political scientists, sociologists, journalists, and anthropologists, exposing them to different disciplinary approaches to the study of peace, conflict, and democratic transformation.

We also offer a unique internship program, allowing students to immerse themselves in the local community while improving their employability skills. The program is structured to provide students with the knowledge and experience required for a successful career in a range of governmental, corporate, non-governmental, and international organizations, while also developing their research skills to facilitate the transition to doctoral research. In addition, we offer practical skills workshops on Negotiation and Short Documentary Making.

The duration of the program is 18 months (90 ECTS). In the first two semesters, students attend taught courses designed to develop their theoretical, methodological, and practical skills. Upon successful completion of the taught courses, students will develop their own independent research project (dissertation) in the third semester, under the supervision of an experienced faculty member. Students can choose to write a thesis or create a visual thesis by producing a documentary.
