Peace, Security, and Humanitarian Studies is an interdisciplinary course that explores the complex relationships between conflict, peacebuilding, security, and humanitarian efforts. It examines the causes and dynamics of conflicts, the strategies for conflict resolution, and the role of various actors, including governments, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations, in maintaining peace and security. The course also covers topics such as human rights, international law, diplomacy, and the ethical considerations involved in humanitarian interventions.  

Students engage with theoretical perspectives and practical case studies to understand how security challenges impact societies and how peace can be fostered through negotiation, policy-making, and community engagement. The course often includes aspects of disaster response, crisis management, and post-conflict reconstruction, equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to work in international relations, development agencies, and humanitarian organizations. It prepares individuals for careers in diplomacy, peacekeeping missions, policy analysis, and advocacy for human rights and conflict prevention.
