Conflict Studies and Human Rights
Master
What drives people to take up arms, and how do conflicts reshape societies? How are new technologies—like drones, surveillance systems, and artificial intelligence—redefining the nature of war? In what ways does the climate crisis intensify resource conflicts? How can we unpack institutional violence, such as police brutality in urban spaces? And how do societies recover and avoid confrontations through practices of everyday peace?
The Master's in Conflict Studies and Human Rights at Utrecht University challenges you to examine these types of urgent questions. The main aim of the programme is to turn you into an independent and critical conflict analyst. Its international programme offers a hands-on and interdisciplinary approach to studying the causes, dynamics, and impacts of conflict and collective violence.
