This University of Essex course helps students understand the evolving field of conflict resolution, exploring the causes and effects of destructive conflict across the world, and scrutinizing the theory and practice of how it can be managed peacefully. Students don’t need a statistical background to study this course – they’ll introduce students to research methods and teach them how to use them throughout their studies. Essex’s MSc Conflict Resolution is ideal if students have a statistical background and want to learn advanced quantitative skills.

Students have access to leading conflict resolution experts in Essex’s Michael Nicholson Centre for Conflict and Cooperation and the opportunity to collaborate on research. Essex also hosts popular talks with experts, and with prestigious external speakers, helping students develop a deeper knowledge of conflict resolution.
