Delivered by the experienced practitioners and leading scholars, this Masters degree in International Conflict and Cooperation prepares you to address a variety of challenges facing states and international organisations today.

The course also explores the development and regulation of conflict in relation to factors like natural resources and migration. Contemporary dilemmas surrounding the politics of climate change negotiations, civil war, human rights, international terrorism and humanitarian intervention provide some of the raw material for this MSc, which are studied in-depth over the course of the academic year.
