Profile
The Peace and Development Programme provides you with comprehensive knowledge within the areas of conflict transformation, peacebuilding, development work and international development cooperation. You also gain knowledge about the connection to human rights and security issues. By combining theory with experiences from practice abroad, you will be able to work in a wide range of organisations, both in Sweden and abroad. The language of tuition is English, and the programme offers cross-cultural perspectives and experiences.
The programme provides you with a broad range of in-depth knowledge and analytical techniques through which you will gain an understanding of conflict and peace and development issues, both globally and locally. You will gain insights into development work from an ecological and social sustainability as well as a gender perspective. You analyse conflicts, evaluate conflict resolution strategies, compare peacebuilding strategies, and look into conflict prevention mechanisms. You also look at democratisation and political governance through different theories and approaches to development and development assistance. Throughout your studies, you gain a deeper understanding of different cultures and develop the ability to work within intercultural contexts.
Our international team of teachers has extensive field experience working and doing research in countries facing development and conflict challenges. We draw on this extensive practical knowledge to prepare you for the opportunities and challenges you encounter as a professional in the field. To prepare you for work within our field, the programme offers a variety of activities related to your future professional life, including seminars with experts from organisations working within our field, exercises, and skills training. You can also do an internship, do research or study abroad. Studying in English gives you an additional skill needed to work in international environments, or with international issues at home.
