Minor subject in the combination Bachelor's degree course - only possible in combination with a major subject Standard period of study: 6 or 8 semesters (depending on combination) The degree depends on the major subject chosen. Further information on the structure of the combination Bachelor's degree course can be found here:https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/studium/studieninteressierte/studienmoeglichkeiten/kombibachelor The minor in Peace and Conflict Research offers you an introduction to the topics and concepts of peace and conflict research. The degree programme is consistently practice-oriented. In particular, the Marburg approach is characterised by interactive learning formats (simulation games, conflict intervention simulations, activating teaching and learning forms) as well as an international and interdisciplinary orientation (two English-language modules). With the new minor, we are building on a long history of critical and interdisciplinary peace and conflict research in Marburg. In 1996, the first German study offer for peace and conflict research was introduced in Marburg, initially as a minor subject in the Diploma degree course and later on in the Master’s degree course. Due to the strong demand by students, we are now offering a new, interdisciplinary BA minor subject in addition to two Master's degree courses. An integral part of the degree course is the MarSkills programme, in which you acquire attractive and future-oriented key skills (see https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/fb09/igs/arbeitsgruppen/sprechwissenschaft/marskills/was-ist-marskills
