Overview

On MA International Security and Terrorism, you will explore the concerns about security and insecurity that pervade our everyday lives, such as war and terrorism, their impact on migrant flows and the knock-on effect on European and American politics, and whether resource wars due to climate change pose a growing threat.

As one of the key research areas in the school, you will be taught by experts at the forefront of areas such as hybrid warfare, proxy war, secret intelligence, the rise of Russia, the war in Iraq, and the war in Afghanistan. Our academics have advised governments, spoken at the Pentagon, made appearances on television and radio, and have experience working in Afghanistan which will be a real asset to your learning and development on the course.

You will explore key issues and theoretical underpinnings of international security, such as international intervention,conventional and nuclear deterrence, insurgency and counterinsurgency, peacemaking, and peacekeeping. You will analyse terrorism as a political strategy and explore its contemporary significance and relative success. The course will also develop your understanding of counter-terrorist techniques and provide you with an in-depth study of security issues in particular regions of the world.

We offer a placement scheme which gives you vital real-world experience. Students from the school recently worked at a NATO agency in Turkey.
