Overview
Security: myth or reality? Deciphering the challenges of today’s world
In addition to being an absolute priority for global governance, security has colonized the language of politics as much as our everyday lives. Not a day goes by without politicians and media outlets mentioning yet another ‘security issue’. The Masters degree in International and Security Politics asks what this tells us about our contemporary world.
Understanding the challenges of security in a changing world: An interdisciplinary programme
At the intersection of international relations studies, security and defence studies, political theory, sociology, history and international law, this programme provides a deep understanding of the conceptual and practical transformation of security in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. This Masters degree offers an innovative combination between research and practice to provide a multidisciplinary and multisectoral understanding of on-going geopolitical transformations and the roles played by state and non-state actors in addressing them. The programme also seeks to provide students with the necessary skills and conceptual tools to critically analyse and address the social-political variables shaping and transforming security related issues (from transnational armed conflicts and violence, to environmental and cyber security and broader patterns of criminalization), and the growing uncertainty attached to them.
