The Master of War Studies at UNSW Canberra is an interdisciplinary program that will deepen your understanding of war’s complex nature and impact on states and societies. You’ll explore concepts of war from historical, political, philosophical and sociological perspectives and examine the causes, conduct and consequences of warfare across time.
Engage with diverse conceptual and methodological approaches to the study of war, applying political, social and cultural lenses to understand its effects on history and society. This program is ideal for history teachers, postgraduate scholars and professionals in Defence, government and policy roles who seek to expand their expertise in military history and conflict studies.
