The Establishment
The Department of Peace Studies at the International College of Payap University was established by the Institute of Religion, Culture, and Peace (IRCP) in 2009 to provide the first international Ph.D. program in Peacebuilding at Payap University.
The Programs
The programs offer a Ph.D. in Peacebuilding with two study plans, a Master of Arts in Peace Studies, and a Certificate in Peace Studies. Each program provides structured academic training along with various opportunities for hands-on fieldwork, extracurricular professional and academic development activities, and community service through the Religion, Culture, and Peace Laboratory.
