Course Description

This course offers a rare, practice-focused introduction to three key areas of the development and humanitarian sector: conflict transformation, challenges to humanitarian action and human rights violations in conflict settings. Beginning with the foundations of conflict analysis, the course explores the impact of climate change on humanitarian work and concludes with an examination of transitional justice and approaches to redress.

Taught by experienced practitioners and grounded in research from conflict-affected communities, the course draws on UN and international NGO resources to provide real-world insight. Teaching is interactive, with debates, simulations and discussion groups that deepen understanding. Assessments are practical and career-oriented, including tasks such as conducting a conflict analysis to strengthen professional skills.
