Study the mutually reinforcing links between global leadership, peace and society with this transformative Global Leadership and Peacebuilding MSc at King’s College London. This programme focuses on the links between global leadership, peace and society with a focus on the developing world and global security. It offers both face-to-face and online modules and is enhanced by Leadership Weekend Workshops. It is the only MSc programme you can study in the UK where you will learn about Global Leadership in relation to peace and security, peacebuilding and societal development. In a dynamic global context with a wide array of diverse actors and stakeholders, global leaders require a unique set of skills and must be uniquely prepared. The Global Leadership and Peacebuilding programme seeks: (i) To deepen students' understanding of the different patterns of global leadership that have underlined social, political, economic and peace processes and outcomes in developing societies and across the world; (ii) To advance peacebuilding knowledge - conceptually and operationally - on the process of leadership and global problem-solving in developing societies and across the world; (iii) To develop in students deep analytical skills on responses to global challenges in the 21st century. We see our students as the next generation leaders who must be able to thrive across different socio-cultural contexts, while achieving success in organisations; we help them understand the complexity of global leadership in creating transformative change and building peace across the world.
Graduates of this Global Leadership and Peacebuilding MSc will be well-placed to take their skills and expertise to careers in NGOs, the public and private sectors, transnational corporations, and international organisations like the UN, EU, AU and beyond. Our Alumni also works in international business, teaching, or go on to further academic research in the field of global leadership and peacebuilding.
