The new two-year Master’s Program in Peace and Conflict Management Studies will open in the fall of 2010.

This innovative degree program seeks to combine an in-depth understanding of theory with applications from a regional perspective. Students will investigate ethnic, national, cultural, and religious conflicts in deeply-divided societies. They will study and evaluate different approaches to conflict management, while immersing themselves in a region that offers a great deal of relevant real-life case studies.

The program is interdisciplinary and based primarily on theoretical and practical frameworks in the fields of psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, communications, history, law, philosophy, and education. These perspectives will enrich the students' understanding of conflicts within and among societies and nations. The curriculum also examines specific case studies of conflict and uses the Middle East and Israel as a living classroom for empirical learning.

The program is co-sponsored by the Faculty of Social Sciences and the International School at the University of Haifa – and the degree is awarded by the Faculty of Social Sciences.
