Hey everyone!
I'm working on narrowing down my uni choices to do a Master's degree in Peace and Conflict studies beginning in 2013. I have a list of programmes I'm interested in, but am sort of conflicted as to how many I should apply to. I"m a student from the USA, and unfamiliar with the university system in the UK, though I'm learning more and more. (or trying
). What I'm wondering is if anyone can give me more information about applying to postgraduate/how many programmes I should apply to? If it helps, I go to a small private college, will graduate top of my class, and have done two years of independent research in Social Psychology.
Programmes I'm considering (some are in the Republic of Ireland, so that won't apply here):
Queen's University Belfast: Comparative Ethnic Conflict
University of Ulster: Applied Peace and Conflict Studies
St. Andrews: International Peace and Conflict Studies
Aberdeen: Sociology of Peace Processes (less likely that I'll actually apply to this one)
----------------
Trinity College Dublin: Race, Ethnicity, and Conflict
University of Limerick: Peace and Development Studies
So, in addition to commenting on these programmes, is there anyone else interested in doing peace studies in postgraduate?? I'd love to hear mor about you!
