The MA in Peace and Conflict Studies is an exciting international and interdisciplinary two-year programme focusing on violent conflict as well as its prevention and management. It is a unique programme that is jointly offered by the University of Kent, UK, and the Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany, and it is taught in English.
