Graduate Certificate in Mediation and Conflict Resolution

The Graduate Certificate in Mediation and Conflict Resolution program will see you undertake detailed studies in conflict resolution, including training in practical skills and a range of key conflict resolution processes, such as dialogue and mediation.

You'll draw on current practices as you learn to deal with everything from small individual disputes to large-scale, international and multi-party conflicts. You can choose from courses such as Mediation, Conflict Resolution, The Politics and Power of Nonviolence, Peace-building, and Gender, Peace and Security in Global and Local Perspective.

The multidisciplinary nature of conflict resolution is reflected in this half-year full-time (or part-time equivalent) program, which sees students come from disciplines including political science and international studies, law, medicine, business, social science, education and the arts.

As a graduate, you may work directly in the field of conflict resolution, in international peace-building efforts, in private practice as a mediator, or as a mediator or conciliator for a variety of government or private sector organisations.
