Master of Peace and Conflict Studies Information Session

The Master of Peace and Conflict Studies (MPACS) is a vibrant, interdisciplinary academic program that empowers students with knowledge and skills to contribute to nonviolent peacebuilding.

Turbulent times call for people who understand systems of violence and conflict, and who are prepared to build peace with justice. MPACS uniquely prepares its graduates to be catalysts for peace at community, institutional, and systemic levels. A rigorous course-based professional degree program, MPACS connects theory, analysis, reflection, and practice. Our distinctive focus is on civil society and community-led change. The program provides graduates with tools to understand sources of conflict, polarization, and systems of oppression, as well as to imagine and support transformative peacebuilding.

Join our community-centered learning environment, and benefit from being part of the University of Waterloo, one of Canada’s premier universities.
