Becas Rotary para programas de maestría y curso en temas de paz

The Rotary Peace Fellowship provides peace leaders with two options to pursue academic and practical training in peace and conflict resolution. Candidates can apply for either a master’s-level degree or a professional development certificate in peace and conflict studies at one of six Rotary Peace Centers.

Option One: Master’s Degree Option

• “Building the leaders of tomorrow”
• 15-24 months of Rotary-funded graduate study toward a master’s degree at one of our five Rotary Centers (University of Queensland, Bradford University, Duke/UNC, ICU and Uppsala University)
• Funding includes tuition, travel expenses and room and board
• Training in the root causes of conflict, theories of international relations, and effective models of cooperation, conflict resolution, and negotiation including course work and applied field experience
• A growing network of committed alumni employed around the world in diplomacy, government, non-governmental organizations and private corporations.

Professional Certificate Option

• “Strengthening the leaders of today”
• Three month professional development certificate program fully funded at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand
• Designed specifically for candidates already working in the field of peace and conflict studies to further their understanding of conflict resolution
• Theoretical foundational knowledge during eight weeks in the classroom and practical experience during two through three week on site fieldwork

The master’s-level program requires, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree in a related field, three years of relevant work experience and proficiency in a 2^nd language. The certificate program requires five years of experience and proficiency in English. Up to 100 fellows are selected every year in a globally competitive process based on personal, academic, and professional achievements.

The 2014-15 academic term deadline is 1 July 2013. More information about the fellowship is available at www.rotary.org/rotarycenters. Application information will be available in January 2013.

All Rotary Peace Fellowship applications need the endorsement of your local Rotary district. You can find your nearest local Rotary Club by using the Club Locator tool on the Rotary International web site at www.rotary.org/clublocator
