Military Science is the study of war, armed conflicts, defence systems, and military tactics. It focuses on two primary goals: improving the country’s security measures and developing new armament and military equipment.

Military Science finds answers to questions like: How can we improve the Armed Forces? How can we develop weapons that reduce the risk of injury for soldiers? Are autonomous war machines a solution for the future? Which are the latest and most dangerous security threats?

Students can choose from several Military Science branches: Military History, War Studies, Armed Forces, Security and Strategic Intelligence, and others. Some universities also offer mixed programmes, such as Diplomacy and Military Science or International Politics and Military Affairs.

A typical Military Science curriculum includes subjects like Leadership Development, Military Law, Terrorism, Military History, Cyber Crime, Military Ethics, Tactical Operations, Peacekeeping and Peace-making, Army Management and Administration, Military Training, Defence Economy, etc.
