About the course
Our War Studies MA explores the phenomenon of war and conflict as a key aspect of the human experience, along with its causes, conduct and consequences. Central to the degree is the study of war from a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary perspective - which includes historical, political, sociological, philosophical, artistic, legal, ethical and military viewpoints. War is a deeply complex and contentious phenomenon, and its interdisciplinary study offers an unusually powerful opportunity to sharpen your critical analytical and reflective abilities and develop independent thinking. This prepares you for a wide range of careers and positions of responsibility in which such advanced intellectual skills are highly valued by employers.

"The War Studies MA enhanced my research and critical thinking skills in addition to providing me with several new perspectives from which to view conflict as a matter both of personal interest and professionally. Upon completing the course I was well equipped to start a career that has developed into providing professional consulting services to the World’s largest defence companies."
