What you will study
This two-year master's at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense mixes political science and law. You learn to work in organisations that deal with conflict, whether public or private, and that need to understand how a conflict works, what options exist, and what the international consequences might be.
What you study
The programme is rooted in political science and international law, with a special emphasis on ethical issues. You build analytical skills from both fields. You learn to make independent and original assessments of conflicts, policy options and international repercussions. You also practise cross-disciplinary teamwork to produce broader and ongoing conflict assessments.
The goal is a profile that organisations involved in conflict assessment, management and resolution find indispensable. You gain the skills to hold central positions in those organisations and to help prioritise, organise and sustain their analytical capacity.
