Course Description

Do you want to work as a civil servant, the armed forces, the legal profession, to teach in a related field or report on national news? Whatever your interest in this complex subject, our Masters degree in terrorism and security will give you the opportunity to explore it in depth.

Sitting at the top of the political agenda across the world, this is a fascinating and highly relevant field of study that offers insight into a wide-ranging cross-section of culture, politics and international relations.

You’ll examine the tactics used by terrorist groups and the measures put in place across America, Europe and the Middle East to counter them, as well as developing your understanding of terrorism in relation to threats to national security and the efforts made by governments to maintain security for their citizens.

Entry Requirements

To join this MA you should have a second class honours degree, 2:2 or above, in Politics, History, Sociology, Criminology or related social science and humanities subject.

Applicants are asked to submit a personal statement with their application. A good personal statement explains why you want to do this course, why you want to do it now, and what skills you already have that will help you complete the course successfully. A demonstration of an awareness of the demands of the course (intellectually and in terms of the time commitment) is also of benefit to those reviewing your application.
