Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Peace and Conflict Transformation at World Peace Academy (Swiss Center for Peace Studies)

 

middle1 logoThe "World Peace Academy - Swiss Centre for Peace Studies" (WPA) is an educational institution that aims to promote a global culture of peace through the development of an innovative peace education program and the education of experts and multipliers who can take their knowledge into the field, where it matters most.

The World Peace Academy MAS(Master of Advanced Studies) study program is part of the Advanced Study Centre of the University of Basel and is focused in Peace and Conflict Transformation.

The program lasts 9 months and hosts students from all over the world. The Peace Academy is financed primarily through students' tuition fees. However, as some students cannot afford the full tuition fee, the board of the Peace Academy has decided to offer five partial scholarships every year.

There is a growing need for qualified experts in the field of conflict research and peace work, who can take on innovative functions in private and public institutions. WPA is like a greenhouse for a new awareness, where people of different geographical, intellectual and ideological backgrounds get together and engage in dialogue in a development-oriented atmosphere. This allows for new dimensions of thinking and awareness to germinate and grow.
