2024/202Scholarship Awards in Leadership and Peacebuilding

African Leadership Centre (ALC), King's College London, is pleased to offer two master’s scholarship awards - The Richemont International Scholarship, valued at £13,380. This scholarship will support two UK-based students of African heritage who are eligible for ‘Home fees’ to study the MSc Global Leadership & Peacebuilding for the academic year 2024/25. General information on the award can be found here. Information, eligibility, and application criteria are all available here (scroll down to find Richemont International Scholarships). 

The Richemont International Scholarships are available to those applying to the MSc Global Leadership and Peacebuilding, but we run two MSc programmes at the African Leadership Centre, King's College London, with applications still open to both. Our master's courses are concerned with the leadership dimensions of security and development across the Global South. We bring together students from around the world to participate in our multicultural and diverse learning environment. Students can transform their perspectives on global leadership and undergo personal development to translate their ideas into change-making opportunities within in their own contexts. All relevant information is on the links below (the application portal is also available here).

​**The MSc Global Leadership and Peacebuilding is a blended learning programme that offers both face-to-face and online modules and supports wholly online study where applicable. The MSc looks at the mutually reinforcing links between global leadership, peace and society, especially in developing nations. Through this, you will learn to understand the huge significance of global leadership processes and outcomes in peacebuilding efforts in the developing world and the impacts they have on society.

​**The MSc Leadership and Development is delivered fully in person at King's College London. The MSc focuses on the issues that highlight the significance of leadership processes and outcomes in the dynamics of development. Through this programme, you will gain an understanding of the increasingly key role leadership plays in development and transformation, with a focus on global south contexts.

Abstract: In this seminar, experienced policy actors and peace practitioners will share their insights about prospects for peace, leadership processes, and the domestic and international factors that influence the longstanding crisis of war in Sudan. The prolongation and stalemate characterising the war in Sudan calls for renewed conversations about what is possible and the way forward, making it important to bring practitioners into academic spaces. Policymakers and practitioners who have been involved in the day-to-day peacebuilding process in Sudan share their insights, peacebuilding efforts and perspectives of the war. The war in Sudan cannot be understood in isolation due to the wider insecurities in the Horn of Africa – Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia and South Sudan. In the case of Ethiopia, despite the signing of a Cessation of Hostilities Agreement between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray Peoples’ Liberation Front in 2022, Ethiopia continues to experience armed insurgencies and instability from conflicts in the Oromia, Amhara and the Beni...
