Uppsala University offers a one-year, full-time Master’s Programme in Humanitarian Action and Conflict, based at the Department of Theology and carried out in collaboration with departments of law, peace and conflict, cultural anthropology, management, and women’s and children’s health. The programme is multidisciplinary and connected to the NOHA network, delivered in cooperation with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO). It focuses on giving students the skills and competences necessary to work within different areas of humanitarian action, with an emphasis on taking an independent, critical, and constructively active approach to humanitarian work in conflict situations. Students also gain knowledge and methods relevant to conflict situations and peacebuilding activities. To qualify for admission, applicants need a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen from an internationally recognised university, and must demonstrate English language proficiency corresponding to Swedish upper secondary English 6. The programme starts in August, with an application deadline in January. Tuition is 100,000 SEK for the full programme for non-EU/EEA students; EU/EEA students pay no tuition. Graduates pursue roles such as project leader, conflict analyst, or country manager.
