Online PhD in Counter-Terrorism and Deradicalization
Because it is offered, and uniquely so, by an intergovernmental organization with a specialized mandate in both global affairs and interfaith studies, the EUCLID online PhD in Counter-Terrorism and Deradicalization takes up the challenge of offering a comprehensive doctoral program at the junction of three specialized fields of knowledge and application: (1) international relations (2) science of religion and psychology, and (3) sustainability and global governance.
EUCLID’s online PhD PhD in Counter-Terrorism and Deradicalization is related to EUCLID’s other relevant programs and areas of expertise, such as the PhD in Interfaith Studies and the Master's in Terrorism Studies and Deradicalization.
Historically, EUCLID grew out of the cooperation between universities and the International Organization for Sustainable Development (IOSD) which was the original SD international organization and which is now a EUCLID affiliated institute.
It is therefore only PhD program in this field of expertise organized by an intergovernmental organization and officially used by senior civil servants over 4 continents. It is also highly relevant to managers and executives working for multinational companies.
EUCLID’s DCTD offers a comprehensive graduate study of the most relevant topics, including historical contextualization, comparative terrorism, islamic radicalization, geopolitical hotspots, deradicalization methods, etc. Graduate can expect to complete the program transformed and enhanced in their ability to make a difference in global counter-terrorism and peacemaking.
