The Programme in a nutshell
The three-year English-taught Programme offers specialized interdisciplinary and comparative academic training in the study of various forms of diversity, be it ethnic, cultural, linguistic, regional, religious, social or sexual orientation, and its management. Conflict prevention and management theories, reconstruction and

To ensure the students’ highest mobility the Programme requires that PhD Candidates spend at least two semesters in one of the partner universities.
