Postdoctoral Certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies

The Postdoctoral Certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University for Peace is an advanced research programme designed for scholars, academics and practitioners seeking to deepen their expertise and knowledge in a specific field. This program is intended for those who have completed a PhD and wish to conduct significant and original postdoctoral research at an institution established by the United Nations General Assembly to provide academic programs in the field of peace studies.

The focus of the program is on the development of a detailed and rigorous research proposal, which enables participants to address relevant areas within peace and conflict studies. Through this process, participants not only contribute new knowledge to the discipline, but also strengthen their ability to address complex problems and propose innovative solutions. Research conducted as part of the Postdoctoral Certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies must be original and possess clear academic and social relevance. This ensures that the work has a tangible impact on the field and contributes to the promotion of a culture of peace. In addition, the programme encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, inviting participants to interact with others in academia in diverse areas, which further enriches the research process.
