History of Warfare

History of Warfare MA
The new MA in the History of Warfare offers students a rare opportunity to specialise in military history. This works because the different disciplinary approaches we adopt in the Department of War Studies, along with the range of subject expertise from ancient warfare to contemporary conflicts and crises facing the world today, means that students have their interest in history broadened and challenged. As a member of the Laughton Naval History Unit, I know this is the country's centre of excellence with a proud history of teaching naval and maritime history. We are leading a rapidly growing academic and popular interest in the subject, which is typical of the dynamism of the department as a whole. Naval history represents just one of the opportunities open to students to develop their specific interest in the past under the direction of world-leading experts.
