How can violent conflicts be analysed and how can they be resolved or transformed into a more peaceful mode? In the Master's specialisation in Conflicts, Territories and Identities, you'll engage with the study of conflict, and the territorial boundaries and borders in the minds of people involved. You'll also become familiar with the theory and practice of those organisations – such as NGOs, the EU and the UN – who intervene in violent conflicts and its aftermath, as well as the efforts by local actors to transform and resolve conflicts. International geopolitics, peace building, identity formation and mobilisation, the strategic use of media by the parties involved, negotiation, violence, power and local state formation will be key topics.

As a graduate you qualify for jobs in journalism, research, civil, international relations, security sector, defence -, international organisations and non-governmental organisations as well as research.

The Master's in Conflicts, Territories and Identities is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography in collaboration with the Centre for International Conflict Analysis & Management.

studievereniging

Mundus
Mundus is de studievereniging voor studenten Geografie, Planologie en Milieu in Nijmegen. Je kunt vanwege het economische voordeel van de boekenkorting lid worden van Mundus, maar onze vereniging heeft nog veel meer te bieden.
Onze enthousiaste actieve leden dragen bij aan de organisatie van diverse leuke activiteiten voor alle Mundusleden en andere geïnteresseerden. Je staat vrij om zelf dingen te organiseren of eraan mee te doen.

Regelmatig organiseren wij lezingen op onverwachte locaties in Nederland, excursies naar leuke steden of gewoon een dagje 'even helemaal weg'. Ook is er natuurlijk de jaarlijkse buitenlandse Mundusreis, die altijd een goede mix is van vakinhoudelijkheid, vakantiegevoel en veel lol.

Maar Mundus doet nog meer. Tijdens onze contactdag kom je, als voorbereiding op het toekomstige werkveld, in contact met sociaal geografen, planologen en millieukundigen uit de beroepspraktijk. Daarnaast is er de nu al legendarische Borrelende Kennis Quiz, waarbij studenten en docenten van de sectie het opnemen tegen andere teams van GPM. Naast studiegerelateerde activiteiten brengt Mundus natuurlijk ook ontspanning door feesten, borrels of een barbecue, waardoor je je medestudenten op een andere manier leert kennen. Elk jaar organiseert Mundus het Nationaal Geografisch en Planologisch Symposium, in samenwerking met andere studieverenigingen uit Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen en Wageningen. Wil je meer weten over Mundus? Wil je lid worden of zelf iets organiseren? Dan ben je van harte welkom in de pauze, elke middag tussen 12.30 uur en 13.30 uur, op onze kamer in de Thomas van Aquinostraat 5.0.04.

'This specialisation has given me comprehensive and in-depth knowledge about many contemporary conflicts'

One thing that appeals to me about the field of conflict studies is that it is an interdisciplinary field. Students are engaged in many different fields of studies ranging from geography to economics, and from history to political science. For me personally, it has broadened my perspective in many different ways. I believe it is important that there are people who see the bigger picture rather than just look at their respective field of study alone.
