The Doctorate in Peace and Conflict Studies, housed within CIPS, is a highly specialized program based on individualized teaching and supervision. It consists of 1 year of coursework imparting rigorous training for independent, multidisciplinary research, followed by 3 to 4 years of independent research and writing. The training regimen for the program aims to provide students with the tools necessary for developing professionally advanced methodical reasoning and theoretical analysis capabilities. Students engage with both major trends and emergent new outlooks in PCS as a field with immense scope, receiving rigorous training in research methods for studying the macro-micro etiology of conflict, as well as multimodal and multilevel intervention and prevention approaches. To this end, elective courses encompass key contemporary global developments ranging from innovation in critical theories on peace and conflict, to contemporary issues surrounding international security, multilateralism, pandemic crisis management, security development, and the politics and processes of arms control and disarmament. Doctoral research at CIPS not only presents a meaningful contribution to the academic literature under the PCS stream but also addresses crucial policy concerns in areas such as traditional and non-traditional understandings of security and legal processes involved in addressing international conflicts
