Welcome by the Rector

Welcome to the UPEACE website! We are delighted that you are interested in our University.

UPEACE is a unique institution, with a unique mandate. It is currently completing a revitalization programme and is expanding and developing new programmes to ensure that its courses and teaching materials are available throughout the world.

We have just opened a new academic year, with a record number of admitted students. Offering them the best possible academic programmes, of course, is our first priority. But this is not our only priority; we have to achieve financial stability, to strengthen our regional activities, to develop our distance learning capabilities and to continue building our reputation as a leading organization in Peace and Conflict Studies through education, research, training and other activities.

I will always be interested in your ideas and your comments, so we can continue to ensure UPEACE's present and its future.

Cordially,

John J. Maresca
Rector
University for Peace
