Discover the MA in Peace, Conflict and Democracy – Information event in Limassol

The University of Cyprus invites prospective students and anyone interested in global affairs, peacebuilding, and democratic transformation to attend a special information event in Limassol about its MA in Peace, Conflict and Democracy.

The event will take place on Friday, 20 March 2026, from 18:00 to 19:00 at Sto Dromo Cafe (Presentations Room).

The session will be led by Professor Yiannis Papadakis, who will introduce the programme, outline its unique learning opportunities, and discuss how the degree prepares graduates for careers in international organisations, policy, research, journalism, and civil society. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions about admissions, scholarships, and study options.

Based at the University of Cyprus campus in Nicosia, this international MA taught in English offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding peace, conflict, and democracy from global and comparative perspectives.

The programme combines academic depth with practical experience. Students benefit from an experienced international teaching team, internship opportunities, negotiation skills training, and a short documentary-making workshop. A distinctive feature of the MA is the option to submit a visual documentary as a thesis, allowing students to combine research with creative storytelling.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the programme’s schedule accommodates working professionals, while scholarships are available for qualified applicants.

Drawing on expertise from political science, sociology, journalism, and anthropology, the MA equips students with the analytical and practical tools needed to understand and address some of today’s most pressing global challenges.
