Beginning in August, 2010, UPEACE will offer a new MA in Human Security with two options of specialization for students: Public Health and Society and Urban Challenges to Peace.
Rationale
The United Nations mandated University for Peace has become a worldwide leader in preparing professionals in Peace and Conflict Studies. The institution has already broken the barriers that have separated peace from other disciplines and is now looking to do so again by offering an MA in Human Security with two specializations: Public Health and Society and Urban Challenges and Peace. Students from all over the world are drawn to the University for Peace because it offers MA Programmes that are designed to provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to facilitate positive change in the world.
