Our International Security MA degree exposes students to a rich variety of case studies about security threats and responses, including nuclear weapons, terrorism, migration, climate change, cyber threats and civil wars. Analysis is underpinned by thought-provoking engagement with cutting-edge theories in both traditional and critical security studies, war studies, peace studies and related areas. Assessment is designed to be policy-relevant.

The diversity of our security course is reflected in the topics covered including orthodox and critical understandings of security, intelligence, crisis management, ethical dilemmas, security in the developing world, research design, and urban warfare. The structure and breadth of our MA International Security course content enables students to gain an understanding of the fundamental theories underpinning global security, along with the opportunity to dig deeper into specific areas of interest.

The course is delivered in collaboration with the Centre for Security Studies (CSS). The CSS organises various activities which students will have the opportunity to engage with.
