Courses and Research Centres
Welcome to ELRHA’s online resource of UK expertise and postgraduate training.
We have worked with universities across the UK to create a new database of postgraduate courses and research centres relevant to humanitarian work.
We have organised the courses into categories that have a clear relevance to the operational work of agencies in the humanitarian sector. You can search for courses and centers by category or by study mode.

However, please note that this is the first stage of the development of our online resource and our categories do not yet incorporate the full range of university subjects and courses that are relevant and could be of use to those involved in a wider range of humanitarian activities. Increasingly humanitarian actors are aware of the importance of natural and social science knowledge that will strengthen their capacities to prevent, prepare for and respond to humanitarian crises.
From the social sciences, the spectrum of such offerings range from courses in anthropology and sociology to social psychology and organisational analysis. The natural sciences, too, offer a wide range of options for those humanitarian actors interested in a better understanding not only of future threats and hazards, but also of ways to mitigate them. Demography, climate sciences and geology are just three of a long list of options that will enhance their abilities to deal with the complexities and uncertainties that mark humanitarian action, now and in the future.
If your course or centre is not featured here and you would like it to be, please contact us.
