MASTER OF ARTS in Humanitarian Assistance In an interdependent world, a humanitarian crisis in one area of the globe often has consequences in neighbouring countries as well as further afield, including increased refugee flows, heightened insecurity and trans-border problems, foreign intervention etc. With global warming and the increasing fragility of a number of states across the world—to name but a couple of factors—the incidence of humanitarian crises has grown in the last decades. The Master Programme in Humanitarian Action seeks to give you the skills and competences necessary to work within different areas of humanitarian action. The programme focuses on taking an independent, critical and constructively active approach to humanitarian work, especially in conflict situations. It also aims to provide you with knowledge and methods relevant to conflict situations and peace-building activities. It provides high quality academic education and professional competencies for personnel working or intending to work in the area of humanitarian action. The International Humanitarian Action programme is offered by the Uganda Martyrs University. The Master of Arts in Humanitarian Assistance consists of four semesters of academic work, requiring students to complete a minimum of 90 degree credits and a dissertation. It has a strong regional focus and enables students to specialize in regionally relevant issues such as displacement/migration and disaster preparedness that has hit the region for decades.
