International Security Staffordshire University

Overview

Conflict, competition and instability are increasingly common themes in international affairs today. Whether manifested in immediately recognisable modern forms - such as interstate warfare across borders and over territories - or in novel forms like cyberwarfare, water scarcity or disinformation campaigning, insecurity never feels far away. Security, then, is prized by both politicians and publics alike.

But what is security, how do we analyse it, and how is it achieved? Is it possible to define and achieve a more secure world?

On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MA International Security offered at Staffordshire University. If you complete a pathway route, your award title will reflect this.
