MAS ETH MPP

CSS supports the Master of Advanced Studies ETH Mediation in Peace Processes (MAS ETH MPP), a programme that provides participants with the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques to mediate violent political conflicts. Currently, this is the only MAS programme that professionalises the training of mediators working in peace processes.

The MAS ETH MPP consists of 1,800 hours of study (60 ETCS), structured as a continuing education programme with 15 weeks of face-to-face modules and two written papers over a two-year period. The part-time nature of the course allows participants to continue their work in or around peace processes, while developing new knowledge and skills to assist them in their work.

The MAS ETH MPP is built on a close partnership between ETH Zürich, the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and the foreign ministries of Germany, Finland, and Sweden. The programme is also supported by international organisations such as the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU) and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
