About

The Graduate Certificate in Mediation and Conflict Resolution will provide you with the knowledge and practical skills to negotiate, mediate, manage and resolve issues and support decision making in a wide range of professional settings.

The program draws on current practices to deal with conflicts ranging from small individual disputes to large scale, international, and multi-party conflicts.

The program offers detailed studies in deep seated conflict and cross cultural conflict resolution.

Students can use the program to complete the training requirements for national accreditation as mediators or to articulate into the suites of masters programs in peace and conflict studies offered by the school.
