Curriculum:
The Peace and Development Programme combines an interdisciplinary approach to conflict, peace, development and security issues with in-depth, subject-specific analysis and case studies. During the first year students are introduced to the study of peace and development, forming the foundation of the interdisciplinary and problem-oriented and emancipatory approach of their main field of study.
In their second year, students study peace and development issues from an interdisciplinary perspective, engaging in advanced studies related to their field, including for instance gender studies. They also develop their capacity to apply peace and development to particular cultural or professional contexts with a focus on regional studies, communication and project work. During the third year, students study the final level in peace and development (G2E) and complete their studies with either an internship, elective classes (30 credits), or a semester of studies abroad.
