War Studies BA

About

Our Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in War Studies degree is a long-established course that focuses on the global human challenges of war and conflict. In this three-year undergraduate course, you will approach the study of war and conflict from a variety of different disciplines including history, politics, international relations, philosophy, sociology, diplomacy and strategic studies, preparing you for a wide range of career choices. You will develop the ability to handle a broad range of evidence, analyse complex, challenging and important issues, and present arguments in a clear, concise and effective manner, both orally and in writing.

King's is amongst the world's leading universities for the study of war and conflict.

Teaching by leading international experts who work in close collaboration with governments, armed forces and NGOs across the world.

Outstanding flexibility, allowing you to focus on your fundamental interests of war and conflicts.

Frequent guest lectures throughout the year by high-profile international speakers. These have previously included former diplomats, military leaders and government ministers.

Intellectually and physically located close to government; our campus is just ten minutes' walk from Whitehall in the heart of London amongst the media, museums, and major libraries and research institutes of the capital.

The department has established relationships and links with major London institutions such as Chatham House, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Janes Defence, Visiongain, and consultancy group AKE International.

We offer a dedicated focus on employability skills, supporting you to pursue careers in defence, foreign affairs, humanitarian aid, risk analysis, journalism, and banking. Our graduates have gone on to work for the UK government, the United Nations, the EU, NATO, for consultancy firms and charities such as Oxfam.
