University of Belgrade – Faculty of Political Science

About

University of Belgrade – Faculty of Political Science is pleased to announce the first call for applications for the MA in Peace, Security and Development for the academic year 2026/2027. The program is housed by the Centre for International Security and combines the best of the local expertise with world class scholarship, cutting edge teaching methods, and practice-based learning. This will give students interested in peace, security and development studies a perfect opportunity to study not only in the classroom but also outside of it, in the bustling city of Belgrade and in the heart of the Balkans. The MA in Peace, Security and Development consists of two semesters, each carrying 30 ECTS credits. Upon completing both semesters and attaining 60 ECTS – 12 of which are attained by writing and defending the master’s thesis – the student will be awarded the title Master of Arts (MA).

When to Apply?

The first call for applications in 2026/27 is open by April 15, 2026.

Program Content

The MA in Peace, Security and Development aims to educate and train students to use the conceptual apparatus of peace, security, and development studies, to acquaint them with basic theoretical approaches and debates in these three areas, as well as to train them for further research in these and related fields of social sciences and humanities. The program also aims to educate and train students for professional work in scientific research institutions and other organizations and institutions that deal with peace, security, and development issues. It strives to improve and deepen theoretical and practical knowledge that students acquired in undergraduate academic studies, primarily international studies, but also to develop their ability to solve more complex problems using theoretical knowledge and methodological approaches learned during the program. Upon completion of the program, students will master the fundamental knowledge of peace, security, and development studies, as well as skills for professional engagement in various organizations. The acquired knowledge will enable students to perform multiple scientific research tasks at faculties, institutes, and similar institutions, as well as analytical work in state administration bodies, national and international governmental and non-governmental organizations. In addition, this study program serves as a preparation for doctoral studies in the field of peace, security, and development (or related disciplines) in the country, the region and beyond.

The curriculum of the master’s program in Peace, Security and Development is designed so that in the first semester, the focus is on theoretical knowledge, and in the second semester, on methodological skills. Such an approach aims to start preparing students for writing the final master’s thesis in the second semester, after being introduced to the choral disciplines of peace and security. The program is based on cutting edge theoretical knowledge about the field taught through both conventional lectures and innovative methods of active learning through film, popular culture and serious games. In addition to theoretical and methodological classes, in the first semester, students also have the Joint Project, which continues in the second semester through an internship in organizations and institutions dealing with peace, security and international development. Bearing in mind that the program is in English and that it is expected to attract not only domestic but also international students, a number of courses that focus on the context of Serbia and the Western Balkans will also be offered.

In the first semester, a student has three compulsory courses and two elective courses in an elective group of 6 courses. In the second semester, in addition to the already mentioned internship, a student has two compulsory course and one elective course. The writing of the final thesis is also planned for the second semester. Conceptually, the program is divided so that, in the first semester, the emphasis is on issues of peace and security, while in the second semester students deal with issues that are primarily related to (unequal) development.

Compulsory units in the first semester are:

(1) Critical Security Studies,

(2) Critical Approaches to Peacebuilding, and

(3) Joint Project.

Elective units in the first semester are:

(1) European Security,

(2) Security Sector Governance,

(3) Failed States and Statebuilding,

(4) Regional Peace and Security through Cinema,

(5) Democratization, and

(6) Disintegration of Yugoslavia and Post Yugoslav Wars.

Compulsory units in the second semester are:

(1) Development Studies: Approaches, Actors and Issues,

(2) Academic Writing, and

(3) Internship.

Elective units in the second semester are:

(1) Inequality, Migration and Development,

(2) European Colonialism and Its Legacy, and

(3) Theories and Policies of Justice (taught in Serbian).

The Master program is taught in English language.

Experiences of alumni:

„I am proud to be an alumna of the MA SEE programme, which offered contemporary literature and analysis that remain highly relevant today. The programme brought together outstanding professors from leading European and American universities, creating a truly international academic environment. The knowledge and perspectives I gained continue to guide me in my current role as a manager in the civil society sector in Albania and across the Western Balkans. The interdisciplinary approach and critical thinking skills I developed have proven invaluable in addressing complex social and regional challenges.

On a personal note, I will always cherish the life‑changing experience of being part of a Master’s programme that was truly avant‑garde, even ahead of the Berlin Process. It promoted intra‑regional academic mobility long before this became a mainstream priority, and it anticipated several initiatives that are now central to European higher education. This programme gave me not only knowledge but also a vision of cooperation and integration that continues to inspire my work today.”

Lutjona Lula, Albania

“As for the programme, in short when looking back: for me personally the programme gave me a great allround insight and knowledge about Southeastern Europe which still is very useful for me until today. I liked the multidisciplenary approach through which all facets of the region were gradually highlighted. It gives you a good overview and makes sure students “get the bigger picture” about the region. Big plusses for me were:

• Small multinational class groups, personal approach of the professors
• Opportunity to learn Serbo-Croatian
• Living in a big city like Belgrade in the heart of Southeastern Europe
• Opportunity for exchange in the 2^nd year (in my case i went to Novi Sad which was also a great experience)
• Currently I am working as a Liaison Officer for the Belgian Ministry of Interior, in this capacity i am responsible for the Western Balkans. The background i got during my studies help me every day in my professional carreer.”
