Doha: The Doha Institute for Graduates Studies is to start receiving students’ applications for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies (CHS).
It is an inter-disciplinary research and study centre that conducts original and rigorous research from conflicts, humanitarian crises, state fragility and war to peace transitions in the Middle East and North Africa.
Applications are open for Fall 2016 enrolment for CHS’ flagship teaching programme — Master in Conflict Management and Humanitarian Actions (CMHA).
The deadline is March 31.
Applicants will have until April 28 to submit TOEFL or IELTS results. The institute offers attractive scholarship opportunities for accepted applicants.
The programme offers students opportunity to engage with subjects, including conflict resolution; humanitarianism; peace-building; state-building; and reconstruction theories and practices, from regional and international perspectives.
The two-year programme is structured to bridge the fields of academia and practice by incorporating a field visit to a post-conflict region and an optional professional work placement.
CHS is being designed and developed by an international team, led by Professor Sultan Barakat, a leading expert in the field of post-war recovery, at the University of York.
The team has worked in consultation organisations, including Qatar Red Crescent Society, Peace Research Institute in Oslo, Overseas Development Institute’s Humanitarian Policy Group and Humanitarian Forum.
Prof Barakat said: “With its focus on conflict-affected and fragile contexts, CHS is a much needed opportunity to develop regionally rooted knowledge at a time when the Arab world continues to struggle with creating just and stable societies, enjoying sustainable political, economic and social development.”
The primary teaching and research language is Arabic at the institute.
However, prospective students are expected to have an excellent command of English to make best use of international opportunities offered by CHS and its partners.
