Since 2010 the A.U.K. Peace Building Post-Conflict Transformation and Development Program has provided students from the Balkans and around the world, a program taught by academic specialists and distinguished practitioners in the diplomatic, military, and civilian fields of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction in the Balkans and the wider region.
The program offers courses in:
- the Origins and Resolution of Conflicts in the Balkans and Globally

This important and unique program combines the experience and talents of academics and practitioners of conflict resolution - diplomats, military personnel, journalists, and NGO activists. The program provides a practical, hands-on perspective on the issues while taking advantage of the “living laboratory” associated with thehistorical, cultural, and politically significant sites of Kosovo and the surrounding region.
