Current events

This is a two-way agreement that will also benefit UOC students wishing to take any subjects in the UNITAR course catalogue, as their credits will be validated. Consequently, students taking the Understanding Conflicts and Conflict Analysis and Conflict Resolution courses on the Peacekeeping Training Programme will automatically obtain recognition of the Introduction to Conflictology subject on the UOC's Conflictology Master's.

Practice in the field

Another of the possibilities offered by the agreement is the ability to undertake practical placements with UNITAR. UOC students who apply for it will be able to take part in the conflict resolution programmes run by the United Nations and in peace operations and other post-conflict peacekeeping processes.

UNITAR is the United Nations professional training and research institute and has, since 1965, been meeting the training needs in the areas of the environment, peace, security, diplomacy and government of the UN member states. The UNITAR peacekeeping training programme has extensive experience in the design of e-learning courses aimed at civilian, military and police personnel serving on peace operations.
