Conflict Resolution and Governance

All applicants should have sufficient knowledge of social sciences research methodology reflected by the completion of at least (an equivalent of) 20 ECTS during previous study. Promising candidates with less than 20 ECTS of social science research methodology may be admitted provided they complete an intensive research methodology module first.

Study results obtained in previous education should demonstrate that a student is able to attain and maintain a good to excellent level, especially in the field of conflict resolution and governance. Undergraduate studies should be completed with an overall grade average of at least a B/3.0 (American system), second class, lower division Honours degree (British system), C (ECTS system), 7.0 (Dutch system) or equivalent.

All applicants are required to submit official and final transcripts of each higher education institute attended, listing all courses and examinations already completed and currently enrolled in, and grades and credits obtained.

All applicants are expected to have a solid basis in the field of social sciences and conflict resolution and/or governance in particular, of at least (an equivalent of) 30 ECTS earned during previous study.

As the Master's programme will be highly demanding and fully taught in English, a high level of English language proficiency is expected of all applicants. All students must be able to read textbooks, understand lectures, take part in classroom discussions and give presentations in English. To ensure the quality of education and to safeguard students from failing their studies or slowing down class interactions, all non-native speakers need to demonstrate their proficiency in English before enrolment. All applicants who are nationals of countries other than Australia, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, United States of America or New Zealand are required to submit an English test score that meets specific requirements. Inability to do so will disqualify them from enrolment.
