United Nations University is now accepting applications for the third regular session of the UNU/International Courses (UNU/IC), to be held at the UNU Centre in Tokyo May 20 to June 28 next year. The four courses to be offered are:

  • Armed Conflict and Peacekeeping;

  • Environment and Sustainable Development;

  • Human Rights: Concepts and Issues; and

  • International Cooperation and Development.  

The UNU/IC programme is designed for postgraduate students and young professionals (with a college or university degree) who wish to pursue careers in international fields. The courses, which will be taught in English, are designed to give students a deeper understanding of selected global issues as well as help them to sharpen their analytical and problem-solving skills and develop specific research skills. Each course is taught by a team of lecturers comprising UNU academic staff and external experts from academia, the UN system and other internationally oriented organizations.
