Peacebuilding and Mediation MLitt

Peacebuilding and Mediation critically explores the relationship between formal and official peacebuilding and mediation initiatives and informal, unofficial, and community-based efforts.

This course is offered as either an MLitt or MPhil:


• The MLitt is a one-year programme involving two semesters of taught modules followed by a dissertation.



• The MPhil is a two-year programme. In the first year, students complete the same components of the MLitt. In the second year, they complete one semester abroad at a partner institute in Europe and one semester on a practical placement. You can apply directly to the MPhil programme, or you may have the opportunity to progress from the MLitt to the MPhil.
