Programs that offer residencies where you can study abroad are:

• The King Prajadhipok Institute, RRU, and a consortium of Thai universities have joined together to offer an MA in Conflict Analysis and Management. The classes are made up of both Thai and Canadian students with a residency in each country. RRU is also working with the Khon Kaen and Naresuan Universities to develop a conflict management course for municipal officials that will be held at RRU.

• Makerere University in Uganda and Royal Roads are partnering to provide an online learning platform to train the next generation of leaders in a country emerging from two decades of civil war. Students from RRU's Human Security and Peacebuilding program recently returned from a residency in Kampala where RRU partnered with Makerere University to conduct an international consultancy project. Teams made up of Makerere and RRU students travelled to different parts of Uganda to assess and report on in-country development work offered in the region.
