MA Peace and Conflict Studies (international double degree) Kent/Marburg‏

The University of Kent and University of Marburg are now accepting applications for the international double degree programme Peace and Conflict Studies for the 2012-2013 year.

This international double award is jointly offered by the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent and the Centre for Conflict Studies at the University of Marburg. Upon successful completion of the programme students will be awarded an MA degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from Kent University and an MA degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Marburg. The two year full-time programme encompasses 120 ECTS credits (240 Kent credits). The programme includes a mandatory internship of at least 10 weeks. The Master dissertation is jointly supervised and marked by academic staff at Kent and Marburg.

This multidisciplinary programme features compulsory modules on theories of conflict, conflict resolution, research methods/methods of conflict analysis and intergroup conflicts. Optional modules cover a wide range of topics including negotiation, mediation, diplomacy, development, critical approaches to peace and conflict studies, international political economy, foreign policy, human rights and terrorism.

Students will spend the first year at Kent University and the second year at Marburg University where courses are taught in English. Thus, international students do not need to speak German to study in Marburg. Alternatively, fluent German speakers can opt to spend the first year in Marburg where compulsory courses will be taught in German and spend the second year in Canterbury. The universities do not operate on a system of deadlines for applying to this programme. We do recommend submitting applications by the end of June 2012. Nonetheless, applications received after this date will still be accepted.

List of MBA Scholarships for Developing Country Students

The Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The core courses in the MBA program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc. Students in MBA programs have the option of taking general business courses throughout the program or can select an area of concentration and focus approximately one-fourth of their studies in this subject.

The Master's Program aims to provide students of diverse backgrounds a firm academic foundation geared towards conducting original research in the field of history with an emphasis on interdisciplinary methods and approaches. Application to the program is not limited to students with undergraduate degrees in history but is also open to those from related fields in the social sciences and humanities.

The two-year master's program focuses on the cultural and intellectual history of Turkey covering the medieval to contemporary periods. Since the field of cultural and intellectual history is particularly underrepresented in graduate programs in Turkish universities, the History Department at Istanbul Bilgi University offers a unique program both in terms of diverse and challenging coursework as well as research opportunities in the above field. With an emphasis on interaction with the teaching staff, the program encourages students to work in close collaboration with their advisors in both the classroom as well as on individual research projects.

MA in Peace and Conflict Studies, New double MA programme, Kent and Marburg‏

The University of Kent and the University of Marburg are delighted to announce the call for applications for the first edition of the international double degree programme MA in Peace and Conflict Studies starting in September 2011.
This international double award is offered by the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent and the Center for Conflict Studies at the University of Marburg. Upon successful completion of the programme students will be awarded an MA degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from Kent University and an MA degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Marburg. The two year full-time programme encompasses 120 ECTS credits (240 Kent credits). The programme includes an internship of at least 10 weeks and a dissertation of 14,000 words. The dissertation is jointly supervised and assessed by staff at Kent and Marburg.
The multidisciplinary programme features compulsory modules on theories of conflict, conflict resolution, conflict analysis and intergroup conflicts.  Elective modules offer a wide range of topics including negotiation, mediation, diplomacy, development, gender, international political economy, foreign policy, human rights and terrorism.
Students will spend the first year at Kent University and the second year at Marburg University where courses are taught in English. Thus, international students do not need to speak German to study in Marburg. Alternatively fluent German speakers can opt to spend the first year in Marburg where courses will be taught in German and spend the second year in Canterbury. The universities do not operate on a system of deadlines for applying to this programme. We do recommend submitting applications by the end of June. Nonetheless, applications received after this date will still be accepted.
