This pathway is ideally suited to those who wish to gain a broad perspective of the challenges of today.MA in International Politics and Sustainable Security, a degree which encompasses both traditional security and conventional sustainable development concerns.

As such, it addresses some of the most pressing challenges currently facing humankind.MA in International Political Theory and Applied Ethics, a degree that bridges gaps between abstract theorising and practical action. It targets moral, political and philosophical questions arising from real-world problems and delivers rigorously considered solutions that have impact on policy and practice, regionally, nationally and internationally.Whichever programme you choose, your studies will foster personal growth and a sense of social responsibility, whilst recognising the plurality of forms and directions that this may take. You will live and breathe a tradition of community spirit and intentionally challenging, unconventional thinking – twin forces that bring people together and drive true progress.
