5 Fully funded PhDs in peace and conflict studies

(Reposted from: peaceandconflictstudies.org )

Doing a postgraduate study is very exciting. It provides a great opportunity to move closer to the level of expertise in one’s area of interest, and it provides a sense of accomplishment and self-worth for many. This feeling of pride is even further heightened if the postgraduate studies is for a PhD. Expectedly, there is always a great euphoria that accompanies the realization that a research proposal has been accepted by a University and that a PhD journey is about to begin. However, the euphoria can quickly give way to panic when one considers the possible challenge a lack of funding can pose to the pursuit. Most doctoral students either work part time to fund their studies or find a mixture of smaller grants from charities, organizations or industry. This article highlights institutions that offer fully-funded PhD programmes in peace and conflict studies, with the hope that it would encourage students to undertake courses in peace and conflict studies, thereby helping to build a critical mass of peacemakers, peacebuilders and conflict resolution experts.

Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa

Programme Information: The Durban University of Technology’s Peacebuilding Programme is arguably the biggest and most exhaustive of its kind on the continent of Africa. With close to 50 doctoral students enrolled in the programme, it is one of the most diverse on the continent, and one of the most hands-on PhD programmes worldwide. The degrees start with a compulsory on-campus component of one month during which time students attend classes and submit assignments on peace theory, receive training in practical peacebuilding and learn the details of writing a research thesis. Students are encouraged to work on action research topics which directly build peace among individuals and communities.

Programme Requirements:

A Master’s degree with a research component, normally at an upper class level (70%) or above.
Strong written and spoken English
Relevant life experience beyond studying at the university
A commitment to attend the university full-time at the start of the academic programme, and a week at the start of the second year.
A commitment to devote a minimum of 12-15 hours per week to thesis work, on average, following the on-campus period.

Funding Information: DUT offers tuition free studies for doctoral students for the first three years. It also supports cost of data collection and for the preparation of the final version of the thesis for submission.

University of Notre Dame’s PhD in Peace Studies.

Programme Information: The University of Notre Dame’s Kroc Institute for International Peace regularly offers PhD scholarships in the field of Peace Studies for students willing to study in the United States. Graduates are fully credentialed in one of the six disciplines as well as in peace studies. They are prepared for positions in research and teaching — in anthropology, history, political science, psychology, sociology, theology, or peace studies — and for contributions to peacebuilding practice.

Each of the six partner departments (anthropology, history, political science, psychology, sociology, and theology) has specific requirements for earning a dual Ph.D., while the requirements in peace studies are similar for all doctoral students. Doctoral students typically:

Meet course requirements and pass a comprehensive examin one partner department as well as in peace studies.
Take a minimum of 6 required peace studies coursestaught by Kroc Institute faculty as well as departmental courses with significant content relevant to peace studies
Study core peace studiesliterature and research design
Submit a peace studiesarticle to a scholarly journal to be considered for publication
Submit at least one proposalto an external funding agency for doctoral research
Complete a teaching assistantshipin “Introduction to Peace Studies”
Complete one or more research or teaching assistantshipswith Kroc Institute faculty engaged in scholarship related to the Institute’s research themes, and
Conduct dissertationresearch and writing under the guidance of Kroc faculty and fellows

Funding Information: The University provides admitted students with full financial support in the form of fellowships, graduate assistantships, and tuition scholarships, plus stipends for living expenses for five years.

University of Uppsala’s PhD in Peace and Conflict Studies

Programme Information: The Department of Peace and Conflict Research at the University of Uppsala in Sweden offers a PhD programme that lasts for 4 years, including compulsory course work corresponding to about 1 year of fulltime studies. PhD candidates are often involved in teaching or administration up to 20% of their time, so it may take up to 5 years to complete the PhD programme.

The application should be in English, except for writing samples which could be in either Swedish or English. The documents submitted should consist of the following:

A completed application form for doctoral studies
A short personal letter (1‒2 pages)
certified transcripts of academic records
A project plan (3‒5 pages)
Letters of reference/recommendation (max 2 letters) or a list of references (max 2) which can be contacted by the admission committee.
Writing samples (1‒3 samples)

Funding Information: It is important for prospective applicants to note that PhD candidates at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, as with most Swedish universities, become employees of the university, that is, they are not seen as students. A consequence of this is that there are no tuition fees, but normally there are also no scholarships available.

University of Hamburg’s PhD in Peace and Security Studies

Programme Information: The aim of the PhD in Peace and Security Studies at the University of Hamburg is to facilitate both academic and practical career-oriented learning through an integration of young scholars into the activities of the centre’s activities. The programme has a comprehensive programme that includes seminars, research workshops and fieldtrips that help students deepen and broaden their knowledge of theories and methodologies, while gaining insights into current problems in peace research. Doctoral students also have opportunities to present their work-progress to a forum of professional experts during the seminars and workshops regularly organised by the department.

Requirements for the programme include:

An above-average science, social science or humanities degree at master’s level or higher. The IFSH conducts its own selection procedure.
A good knowledge of the fundamentals of peace research,
And a dissertation topic in line with the current research program of the IFSH are expected. Doctoral students at the IFSH participate in working groups and research projects and are assigned personal advisors according the topics of their dissertations. A program director is responsible for the overall management of the program.

Funding Information: The PhD programme is tuition free. The IFSH does not offer funding itself, but suitable candidates are often provided with support in applying for scholarships.

University of Otago’s PhD in Peace Studies

Programme Information: The University of Otago offers a fully funded PhD programme themed: Trusting the Enemy: Understanding Intergroup Trust in Conflict and Peace Studies through Social Psychological Approaches. The programme is built on the core belief that trust is the glue that holds relationships together. This project focuses on furthering our understanding of the multidimensional nature of trust. It aims for researchers and practitioners alike to better understand how conflict persists through distrust, how peace building can be empowered through trust, and how fragile intergroup relations can be strengthened through systematic trust building. This work intends to build on the Intergroup Trust Model, which hypothesizes that trust between groups is shaped by the five dimensions of competence, integrity, compassion, compatibility, and security.

Acceptance as a candidate for the PhD degree depends upon the University being able to provide adequate expert supervision in the intended area of research.

The University considers the following criteria when making an internal assessment:

Academic standard: Prospective students must meet the highest academic standards. A first class Honours degree or Master’s degree including a significant research component is required; research publications (peer-reviewed articles in academic journals or book-chapters) are desirable.
The project proposal must fit well with our research profile and appears manageable and feasible within a three-year time frame and given financial and other constraints.
The project must be likely to generate high-quality, publishable work in peer-reviewed journals.
A Master’s degree with a focus on peace and conflict studies is highly desirable.

In order for us to make internal assessment, the University needs four things from the applicant:

Full academic transcripts highlighting which course is your thesis or dissertation and / or details of research publications.
Where possible, an electronic copy of the piece of independent research submitted for examination.
A curriculum vitae which includes publications, at least one reference letter and the contact details of referees (a minimum of two)
A preliminary research proposal (about 5 pages) which identifies the contribution of the project to the discourse, a description of its theoretical framework, research design, methodology and time plan.

With this information, the University can assess the likelihood of scholarship funding and the ability of the Centre to provide adequate supervision for the project. The candidate may be invited to a Skype interview as part of the selection process. If an applicant is successful in this internal screening process, he / she may then proceed with a formal application.

Funding Information: The PhD programme is fully funded.

Reviewed by Rachel Feldwisch, Associate Dean, College of Education & Behavioral Sciences, University of Indianapolis on 4/3/24

Comprehensiveness rating: 4 see less

The title of the book was an immediate draw, as it is difficult to find applied neuroscience texts on practical topics that feel approachable to a wide range of readers. The book begins with coverage of neuroscience, then applies major areas of psychology (cognitions, emotions, personality, and social psychology) to the study of conflict resolution. The table of contents is a helpful navigation tool (index and glossary were not included).

Content Accuracy rating: 4

A few minor errors exist in the text, such as referring to the APA as the "American Psychology Association." The text appears to be free from bias.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

Content is contemporary and relevant, with inclusion of topics in recent history such as COVID-19. Coverage of neuroscience is current and could easily be updated over time given how well the book is structured and organized.

Clarity rating: 4

The author's writing is clear and accessible with an approachable tone. Some of the psychological content (for example, coverage of personality theories) could have been explained more in depth as opposed to relying on external resources.

Consistency rating: 5

The text is internally consistent in terms of terminology and framework.

Modularity rating: 5

Based upon the title, I was expecting neuroscience to be more integrated throughout the text. However, the author's approach does lend well to utilizing the book within a classroom where topical areas are covered separately. The book could easily be utilized for a college course or for independent self-study.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 5

Chapters are well organized with Learning Outcomes, Key Readings, bolded key terms, imbedded Extensions, and Reflection Activities.

Interface rating: 4

The images and text are easy to read. Weblinks were functional, such as the links to professional organizations. Using the PDF version, it takes several steps to access the videos (navigating out of the text and following a path through several websites). However, the videos would enhance understanding of the material and were well selected. Internal links (for example, at the beginning of Chapter 2, page 10) did not function when using the online PDF version of the text. Some images were crisp and clear, whereas some figures contained blurry text (e.g., Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, p. 141).

Grammatical Errors rating: 5

Grammatical errors were not prevalent.

Cultural Relevance rating: 5

The book opens with an Acknowledgement of Country/land acknowledgement and is respectful of cultural differences throughout. The imagery depicts people from diverse ethnicities/cultures. Section on prejudice (Chapter 4) and the "Culture and Attribution" segment (Chapter 5) were highlights.

I enjoyed reading Neuroscience, Psychology, and Conflict Management and could envision using the text for an advanced topics course at the undergraduate level, or within our graduate level neuroscience course to apply concepts to real world practice.

The Best Online Doctorate in Negotiation and Conflict Management Degree Programs

Collapse All

Fort Lauderdale, FL

Nova Southeastern University, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offers one of only a few Ph.D. conflict resolution online degrees available in the world. The 76-credit program focuses on developing professional leadership skills; promoting understanding and mastery of quantitative and qualitative research analysis; and preparing students to produce high-quality publications.

Students can customize their conflict resolution Ph.D. online by selecting full- or part-time study options that take 2.5 years plus a dissertation, or four years plus a dissertation, respectively. Learners can choose one of four concentrations: community-based conflict, conflict in organizations, global conflict, or interpersonal conflict. While the asynchronous program format allows students’ to study at their own pace, students will need to complete two five-day "residential institutes" on campus. Additionally, a teaching and training practicum course may require travel to an approved, local location.

Online Doctorate in Negotiation and Conflict Management Degree Programs Ranking Guidelines

We ranked these degree programs based on quality, curricula, school awards, rankings, and reputation.

Our Methodology

Here at TheBestSchools.org, we take the trust and welfare of our readers very seriously. When making our school and program rankings, our top priority is ensuring that our readers get accurate, unbiased information that can help them make informed decisions about online education. That's why we've developed a rigorous ranking methodology that keeps the needs of our readers front and center.

Our proprietary, multi-criteria ranking algorithm analyzes key data indicators — as collected by the federal government — for each school or program. What data we use depends on the focus of each specific ranking, but in all cases, our ranking methodology is impartial: Schools cannot buy better rankings at TBS.

While specific criteria under consideration can vary by ranking, there are a few data points that we value most highly. They are affordability, academic quality, and online enrollment. Below, we break down our algorithm to help you understand what you're getting when you use one of our rankings.

Affordability
Online Enrollment

Data Sources

The data used in TBS rankings comes primarily from the federal government, and much of it is provided by the schools themselves. We aggregate and analyze this data to build our rankings.

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is our primary source. Its data comes from annual surveys conducted by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Every college, university, or technical school with access to federal financial aid must participate in these surveys, which include questions about enrollment, graduation rates, finances, and faculty qualifications. This is publicly available data, which you can access yourself through the College Navigator .

Additionally, because we value a personal touch and the professional experience of our staff and Academic Advisory Board, we vet all results and adjust rankings as necessary based on our collected knowledge of schools and degree programs. Depending on the ranking, we may obtain additional input from AcademicInfluence.com , subject matter experts, prior TBS ranking lists, or other sources we deem relevant to a particular ranking.

Breakdown of Our Rankings Methodology

About our ranking factors.

Here at TBS, we value what you value: quality education, affordability, and the accessibility of online education. These factors guide all of our program rankings.

Each of these factors are further broken down into weighted subfactors. For example, retention rates are weighted more heavily than availability of program options because they are a better indicator of student success.

We chose the following factors for our rankings because of their influence on learning experiences and graduate outcomes. However, students should always balance our rankings against their personal priorities. For instance, a learner who needs a fully online program may prioritize online flexibility more than our rankings do. Our rankings are designed to help you make a decision — not to make a decision for you.

Academics - 75%

Affordability - 15%, online enrollment - 10%.

In all our school rankings and recommendations, we work for objectivity and balance. We carefully research and compile each ranking list, and as stated in our advertising disclosure, we do NOT permit financial incentives to influence rankings. Our articles never promote or disregard a school for financial gain.

What Else Can I Expect From an Online Doctorate in Negotiation and Conflict Management Program?

Each online conflict resolution Ph.D. program is unique. For example, some programs are concentrations within business schools, while other programs stand alone. Regardless of their classification within a school, most conflict resolution doctoral degrees cover the same foundational topics. Below are some common courses in these terminal degree programs.

Curriculum for an Online Doctoral Degree in Negotiation and Conflict Management

Psychology of Leadership: These classes help students understand effective leadership. They also teach students how to manage the different personalities of the leaders that students will encounter in their careers.
Biological Bases of Behavior: Biological processes help determine human reactions in stressful situations. These courses teach degree candidates to identify how these processes affect conflict.
Intercultural Communication: Cultural differences can create obstacles when people from different backgrounds come into conflict. These courses teach students to translate and mediate conflicts between diverse groups of people.
Global Conflict: When governments oppose one another, it is up to diplomats and conflict resolution specialists to resolve conflict. This course helps students prepare for these high-stakes situations.
Dissertation: Many doctoral programs require degree candidates to complete dissertations near the end of their studies. Students conduct their own research or evaluate previous research and then present their conclusions to their dissertation committee.

Careers With a Doctorate in Negotiation and Conflict Management

A Ph.D. in conflict resolution online degree can prepare a graduate for several career paths. Graduates can become government or law-firm mediators. Other degree holders may teach conflict resolution at the college level or become high-level human resource managers.

PhD in Conflict Resolution

This program focuses on studying the human being in general and human behavior in particular, as it overlaps with sociology, psychology and philosophy, which is the mother of sciences. The program focuses on studying the different aspects of society like the relations between people and how the society was formed, and on the academic related studies such as: Psychology, history, humanitarian studies and behavior sciences. Students will study the modern communities structure and the societal classes and its texture, in addition to studying related sciences such as: Criminology and Anthropology, and other topics such as: Social Thinking, Analysis of Societies, Identity, Social Behavior and the Causes of Conflicts and its impact on humanity.

Create the dialogue and thoughts sharing culture through the students’ mobility opportunities between universities and conflict resolution centers around the world. Also increasing the students’ capabilities in determining the most effective ways to conflict resolutions.
The importance of this program is that it has many topics such as the anthropology to understand: the Humanitarian Aggression, Peace, Mediation, Conflict Resolution and Negotiations, and it aims to discover the hidden mechanisms of conflicts and wars between individuals, or international groups. In light of the growing civil and ethnic wars in the world, and the increase in divisive conflicts and sectarian wars, the need for individuals and groups to understand the roots of the conflict and search for the best ways to accept and coexist with it increases.
There is a special importance for this program in Palestine, as our country lives under the strongest and most difficult conflicts. This program will provide the chance to study the conflict from different perspectives and then graduates will be able to deal with conflict resolution with a great awareness of the importance of negotiations and peaceful mediation on the individuals, organizations and countries levels through the means of peaceful and humanitarian negotiations. The program will also prepare students to conduct researches and studies that benefit the formation of Palestinian opinion and convey the true Palestinian narrative to the world. It prepares students to deal with various conflicts, social, economic or political conflicts.
Provide students with the ability to know how culture and identity were formed and how they lead to conflict and collaboration between groups.
Strengthen students’ understanding of the effect of communication between individuals, and develop the critical thinking of students especially that is related to individuals and groups.
Enable students to suggest solutions to complex conflicts through negotiations and alternative conflict resolution ways.
Provide students with the knowledge to make decisions as mediators in conflicts.

Peace and Conflict Studies Annual Graduate Student Conference Review

Reppy Graduate Student Conference, SP 24 participants

By Avishai Melamed, 2023-24 Reppy Institute Director’s Fellow

On April 27, the Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies hosted its annual Graduate Student Conference .

The academic workshop, which aims to bring together graduate students whose work seeks to answer global peace and conflict questions, featured thirteen scholars from Cornell University and beyond to discuss research on the institute’s focal topics of climate change and conflict, nuclear security, governance of emerging technologies, and human rights, race, and gender. The guest presenters were joined by current and former Reppy Institute Graduate Fellows , as well as Cornell graduate students who contributed as discussants.

Emphasizing the conference’s commitment to multi-disciplinary perspectives, participants included political scientists, sociologists, historians, and professional students. Equally important was the event’s support for methodological pluralism, with presented research including econometric, ethnographic, survey-experimental, text analytic, and other methodological approaches.

The first panel (Jing Ge, Florida International University; Chi Fang, University of California, San Diego; Sanghyun Han, Georgia Institute of Technology; Ahmet Ergurum, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee) featured papers analyzing the governance of artificial intelligence, international arms trade and development, contemporary industrial policy, and international institutions’ growing interest in emerging technology. The papers emphasized the opportunities and challenges that sensitive and rapidly evolving technologies’ pose for contemporary geopolitics.

Moving to the second panel (Danielle Obise-Orlu, Cornell University; Bohan Zhang, Rice University; Phoebe Wagner, Cornell University), participants examined the importance of historical memory in both past and present peacebuilding efforts, strategic interstate interactions, and the construction of just and equitable societies. Scholars explored various regional perspectives on memory, analyzing how states and cultures frame history and construct memory, both for themselves and foreign audiences.

The third panel (Vierelina Fernandez, Florida International University; Maisnam Arnapal, University of California, Santa Barbara; Khilola Iakubzhanova, Cornell University) explored gendered norms and social attitudes in a range of settings, including South America, the Middle East, and South Asia. In particular, scholars emphasized the agency of communities and organizations in actively shaping these views to influence and support their members.

Finally, the fourth panel (Cecilia Cavero Sánchez, Pennsylvania State University; Lois Matthew, Cornell University) focused on the role of civil society in post-conflict and regime change conditions. From communities and municipalities to entire countries, civil society plays a vital role in mediating the spread of norms and attitudes, as well as coordinating public responses to rapid and large-scale sociopolitical shifts.

The Reppy Institute thanks the participants and looks forward to continuing its mission of furthering peace and conflict studies in the 2025 conference.

Managing Chaos: Competing Strategies in a Disordered World

This course was previously named "The Changing Character of Conflict: Conflict in the Gray Zone". Conflict has been a constant companion in human experience from time immemorial. Some argue that conflict is inherent in the human condition, or in human nature. Yet today something is different; something has changed. Conflict seems more omnipresent, more intractable, and more dangerous. This class examines the various new domains of conflict and the way they affect global power dynamics, showing that while conflict is a permanent feature of human society, it has evolved to occupy new spaces using a new toolbox. Paraphrasing Clausewitz, the nature of conflict remains constant, yet its character is eternally changing. The prevailing conflict paradigm continues to emphasize the familiar military or kinetic domain often neglecting other segments of the conflict spectrum. The unprecedented acceleration of digital and other technologies threatens a future evolution of conflict likely to outpace state capacity to mitigate and manage conflict. Conflict today and in the indefinite future is likely to be asymmetric, hybrid, and full-spectrum. The course is divided into five segments; 1) Introduction and context of contemporary conflict; 2) Differing world views as they relate to conflict; 3) New conflict domains and media; 4) Implications for national and multi-lateral policy; and 5) Projecting future conflict domains.
