School of Government & International Affairs

Durham Global Security Institute MSc Programmes

The MScs explore the interface between defence, development and diplomacy in conflict prevention, intervention and post-conflict reconstruction and stabilisation. Straddling war and peace studies, and drawing on (international) politics, law, geography and anthropology, among others, the programmes enable students to study the latest theories, engage with world-class academics and practitioners, and gain practical skills through role playing. Cross-cutting themes include the changing relationship between state, society and international system; the role of law, ethics, culture and communication; the interplay between local and transnational; and the tension between national and human security. The MScs are targeted at professionals from governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations, graduates and those wishing to pursue further research.
