About the scholarship
Applicants for the 2022 Master of Peace and Conflict Studies (MPCS) programme at the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Otago, are invited to apply for a Study Award. The NCPACS is New Zealand's first centre to combine global cross-disciplinary expertise on the issues of non-violence, development, peacebuilding and conflict transformation. It offers masters' and doctorate programmes, and conducts high-level research on the causes of violent conflict and the conditions for sustainable peace. It is a postgraduate theory, research and practice centre located within the Division of Humanities. Their aim is to provide the most advanced theoretical insight into the origins and management of violent conflict, as well as skills for dealing with that in their future academic or practical work. Their regional foci are Aotearoa/New Zealand, Oceania, East, South East and South Asia.
