Study International Security MA, one of the most comprehensive international security programmes in the country. Warwick's Politics Department, home to staff at the cutting edge of research in this field, provides a broad range of modules to choose from.

Course Overview

International Security is a field of study concerned with questions about war and peace, life and death, safety and survival. Traditionally its terrain has focused on concerns about the stability of the states’ system, the use of force, nuclear proliferation, military strategy, intelligence and the distribution of resources. Today, however, concerns about climate change, migration, poverty, health, privatisation, organised crime and international terrorism are also on the agenda. Our MA is one of the most comprehensive international security graduate programmes in the country taught by staff at the innovative forefront of international security research. You’ll choose from a broad range of modules with a diverse thematic and geographic focus.

Teaching

Modules are taught via one 2-hour seminar per week. Every seminar will be based on extensive guided reading you will do each week, but there is no strict pattern to how sessions are run. This may include mini-lectures followed by discussion, Q&A sessions, organised debates, peer presentations, policy briefs, small group work, and other projects.

Careers

They have pursued roles such as: business and financial project management professionals; economists; finance officers; management consultants; business analysts and public services associate professionals.
