Conflict, Security & Development MA

About

The MA in Conflict, Security & Development explores the conceptual, historical and policy issues surrounding security and development and how these manifest themselves in the wider context of contemporary warfare and international security. It provides an analytical and empirically informed treatment of the linkages between issues of security and development in contemporary international relations. Development and security are inextricably linked, yet all too often both academics and policymakers address them separately. Our MA in Conflict, Security & Development is a unique globally recognised course that brings together these interrelated areas of study, acknowledging that conflict, insecurity and underdevelopment interact in dynamic ways and that a full understanding of them requires a holistic approach.

Exposure to a variety of complex transnational issues, taking a multidisciplinary approach to some of the key questions facing policymakers and scholars today, including the relationship between poverty, inequality and war; state fragility and peacebuilding; disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration after civil wars, amongst others.

Enhances your analytical, research and critical thinking skills, providing you with detailed practical knowledge of conflict, security and development around the world.

Strong intellectual and methodological foundations for further research and helps to prepare you to become a leader in the public and private sectors, government or academia.

Develop communication skills by presenting and disseminating research in written and oral forms to classmates, tutors, and the wider academic community.

Students on our MA courses have gone on to build careers in further academic research, NGOs, civil service, NATO, UN, media and publishing, finance and investment, teaching, risk consultancy, and the armed forces.
