The core subjects you will study are: Conflict Analysis* Conflict Resolution Processes* Foundations of Multidisciplinary Research and Communication* Ethics and Reflective Practice in CMR* And as one of the two capstone subjects which are: Applied Research Project** Conflict Management and Resolution Project** You can then choose seven additional elective subjects. For more information about the course structure and subjects available please go to the subjects tab below. All Conflict Management and Resolution (CMR) subjects, except for a few, can be studied either internally (this involves attending an intensive workshop in Townsville or Cairns in addition to studying online) or externally (this means all studies will be completed online). Most of our intensive workshops are delivered over a three (3) day period and are conveniently offered across a weekend (Friday to Sunday) to allow students with work and family commitments or travel requirements to attend. We encourage all students to attend some of the workshops in our program as feedback captured from students suggests that they are an excellent study experience. That said, if you do live far away and cannot manage to travel to Townsville or Cairns, please be assured that you will be able to complete your Masters online and our lecturers work hard to ensure all students feel engaged and part of the CMR program community.
