Summary
Overview
Why are more countries experiencing violent conflict today than at any time since World War II? Is the global rise of populism threatening the future of democracy? And what does all this mean for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on peace, justice, and strong institutions?
Explore these urgent questions and more on our MA in Conflict, Governance and Global Development. You’ll delve into the study of comparative politics and gain a deep understanding of the complex relationship between governance, violent conflict and development. This dynamic programme equips you with the critical thinking and practical skills needed to navigate and respond to today’s most pressing global issues.
Throughout this one-year full-time programme, you'll draw on different theoretical approaches and explore a globally diverse set of real-world cases to deepen your understanding. You’ll explore key topics such as the global state of democracy in the 21st century and the complex dynamics of contemporary conflict through exciting, cutting-edge research, for example on gender dynamics in the rise of far-right populism, and on non-traditional approaches to security.
This course is housed in the School of Global Development, a world-leading centre for research, teaching, and practice, ranked as the No. 1 Development Studies institution in the UK (THE REF Analysis 2021). You’ll learn from interdisciplinary experts working at the forefront of key global issues—climate change and environmental justice, displacement and migration, gender, conflict resolution, humanitarian action, and food security. As part of our supportive and passionate community, you’ll be empowered to turn your knowledge into real-world impact—locally, nationally, and internationally.
Whether you're aiming for a career in policy, international development, diplomacy, or research, this MA will give you the tools to make a meaningful impact.
