MSc Security Studies in London United Kingdom | University College London

This Master's program will enhance your knowledge of global security issues while building your analytical and methodological expertise to tackle them. Security studies examine the roots and impacts of both international and domestic conflicts. The curriculum prepares you to use empirical approaches to study why disputes escalate into wars, the reasoning behind military strategies and technologies, and methods for conflict resolution and prevention. Participants gain insight into theoretical frameworks and discussions within security studies, along with skills to evaluate how various forms of political conflict—both violent and non-violent—arise, spread, are controlled, and settled. The program also provides training in qualitative and quantitative research techniques for systematically gathering and interpreting data. Designed for those pursuing careers or advanced research in international relations, public policy, or political analysis, the course is ideal for applicants with backgrounds in economics, history, international relations, law, political science, psychology, or sociology.
