Radical right extremism is one of the top security concerns for governments on a global scale, with estimates of a three-fold increase in recent years (Global Terrorism Index). Why did this happen? How are terrorism and security evolving today? How can governments tackle extremism and terrorism as well as local and global insurgency and the challenges these pose?

This new MA in Terrorism, Security and Radical Right Extremism is your opportunity to gain an in-depth and cutting-edge understanding of the various approaches to the study of terrorism, security and radical right extremism, as well as how governments are generating public policy responses to these threats.

The MA in Terrorism, Security and Radical Right Extremism, in association with The Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right (CARR), provides a combination of practical and theoretical skills in a highly topical sub-discipline of International Relations, as well as incorporating History, Political Science and Criminology.

Through this programme you will:

Learn from experts in radical right extremism, global security and strategy who have published extensive research in respected political and historical journals
Gain a deep insight into global terrorism and security at a time of great change and uncertainty
Study modules dealing with various aspects of terrorism, counter-terrorism and security strategies
