MA Conflict, Memory and Peace

The Master's program in Conflict, Memory and Peace at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of international relations, particularly in contexts of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Through a multidisciplinary approach, students explore theories and practical applications related to memory, identity, and the socio-political dimensions of conflict. The program emphasizes the importance of understanding historical narratives and personal experiences in shaping contemporary issues.

This full-time program spans four semesters and includes a combination of lectures, seminars, and interactive workshops. Students earn ECTS credits through carefully structured modules, culminating in a thesis project that allows for personalized research in the field. As a university of applied sciences, THI also offers an essential practical component, allowing students to engage with industry partners and apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts, potentially including internships or project collaborations.

Graduates of the program are expected to develop strong analytical, communicative, and intercultural skills, making them valuable assets in various sectors. The program is suitable for individuals with a background in social sciences, humanities, or related fields who are passionate about making a difference in areas affected by conflict and seeking solutions through memory work and peace initiatives.
