Our International Relations & War MA offers you the opportunity to study international relations in a multi-disciplinary department devoted to the study of all aspects of war. You will study this course online, meaning that you can access our high standard of teaching and expert staff from anywhere in the world without disrupting your personal and professional life. Our International Relations & War MA will give you an advanced and comprehensive understanding of the historical evolution of the international system, its relationship to conflict, how to understand it, the leading ideas that underpin it, how it is evolving, and the current challenges it faces. Processes of globalisation, including the movement of monies and peoples, the impact of new technologies, the rise of identity politics, the rise of transnational or non- state actors and transformations in the character of contemporary war all pose direct challenges to the state, the international system and global politics. These themes are considered in depth. This MA is based at the Department of War Studies, one of the few academic departments in the world to focus solely on the complexities of conflict and security. War Studies is an interdisciplinary department, and this programme is designed to empower you to think independently, across traditional disciplines, and to provide you with the knowledge and the tools necessary to analyse, evaluate and understand international politics, policy-making, war, peace, and diplomatic practices.
