TPU faculty is drawn from amongst the leading peace scholars and practitioners in their fields internationally.

Generally, in order to benefit fully from the course, participants are advised to dedicate not less than 8 hours per week for each course.

I am a Srilankan graduate who has obtained a degree in peace and conflict resolution. so I am very interesting to study further on peace related field. As graduate and Srilankan, I have experiences in thirty years long on going war in Srilanka with out a sustainable political solution. I think it is a better to get higher education at such an institute on peacefully transformation methods for peacefull constructive contribution for Srilanka and the world.
