International Peace & Security MA

Our MA in International Peace & Security is the only MA in the UK which provides an integrated study of international law with international politics relevant to the contemporary world. It consists of a broad-based, multidisciplinary curriculum, focusing on law and conflict in international society and contemporary security issues. It is ideal if you are looking for a career in international organisations, government departments, political risk, the financial sector, further research/PhD or professional legal studies.
