War Studies Research

The normal entry requirement for the MPhil/PhD programme is a master's degree with high merit (or overseas equivalent), and a 2.1 honours degree at the bachelor's level (or overseas equivalent). It is not essential to have taken courses in this field at postgraduate level but we advise students to consider taking our MA or a similar course elsewhere before undertaking research work in the Department of War Studies. Extensive practical experience in the relevant field (e.g. military, diplomatic, journalistic, humanitarian or developmental) may be taken into account when evaluating an application.
