A role play of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will provide the students with an opportunity that through acting understand the dynamics of a regional conflict. The interconnection of theory and practice will be applied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in order to chart the prospects for future conflict resolution. Each student will write a Master Thesis. The Master Thesis will be defended at a special seminar with the participation of Palestinian and Israeli supervisors and other graduate students. Each thesis will be submitted jointly by one Palestinian and one Israeli student, but each student will be identified with specific chapters of the thesis.
Theoretical approaches are then to be fetched from the main courses.
The students are then to collect data choosing a method adequate for the research problem in focus. The Program is part of both the undergraduate and post-graduate education at the Department for Peace and Development Research. In order to receive a masters degree of 160 credits, including at least 80 credits of a main subject, it is necessary that the applicants have completed at least 60 credits from a discipline which can be judged as close to Peace and development, such as Political science, Sociology, International relations, Development Studies, and Social Anthropology, or similar. The students may include courses from other venues in their degree. Students must be capable to speak and write in English.
