By supporting the Peace Studies Fund, you directly strengthen personalities that carry their potentials towards their local context. Education is a seed that grows endlessly. It fosters participation, ownership and joint global learning as it is nourished by the student’s own resources. Many of our students go on to work for organizations like the International Committe of the Red Cross (ICRC), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the United Nations (UN), or to work in universities, or even as self-employed peace and conflict worker, using the skills and competencies gained in this program to enrich and embolden their potential.
As a Peace Studies Fund supporter, you open a space for unfolding at the roots of conflict and peace, which – as the UNESCO Manifesto states – lies in the mind of (wo)man. The funding will lead to the academic participation of students whose voices otherwise could not contribute and therefore foster a diverse academic landscape in the field of peace and conflict studies. We believe that through ensuring a diverse landscape this program can foster seeds of peace throughout all corners of the world.
Tuition fee
The Master Program Peace and Conflict Studies in Innsbruck is associated with costs. Each student has to pay 1,550 € per semester for accommodation and 1,550 € for eight weeks full board. For non-European students, much more expenses sum up through higher travel costs, visa and apostilles, as well as an extra tuition fee of 749.42 € per semester. This sum often makes continuing the program a challenge. The Peace Studies Fund has set itself the goal of covering the tuition fees for two students each semester. This means that we would like to reach a donation sum of 1.498,84 € twice a year. And for this we need your support!
