This timely and exciting programme is designed to engage students with some of the most significant and pressing security issues confronting us today.
The MA in Terrorism, International Crime and Global Security aims to provide students with an integrated security perspective, combining traditional militarised security concerns with contemporary threats of terrorism, international crime, and non-traditional security.
Since the end of the Cold War there has been a widening in the number of threats affecting individual, group, state and international security. The MA in Terrorism, International Crime and Global Security provides students with an up-to-date set of modules which examine these threats.
The Masters in Terrorism, International Crime and Global Security is designed for those people seeking to put current security debates into some sort of academic context. In terms of career advancement, the course offers generic skills and professional development that have seen past graduates go on to jobs within:
* International ngos
* Civil service
* Private sector
* Management
* Journalism
In this sense, the degree is not designed to promote any one specific vocation. However, the issues studied would be of particular interest to those wishing to start, or advance, a career in:
* The armed forces
* The police force
* International agencies such as the United Nations or the European Union
* Other international non-governmental organisations
Contents
The MA in Terrorism, International Crime and Global Security will provide you with an informed understanding of the key threats posed to world politics by terrorism, international crime, and global security.
You will also obtain a critical awareness of the complex and inter-connected diplomatic, legal and economic dimensions of these threats, as well as an understanding of counter-terrorist and counter-crime policies, strategies and operational responses at local, national and global levels.
The key themes of this masters degree are addressed in the programme’s three core modules:
* International Organised Crime
* International Terrorism
* Threats to Global Security
Students then have an opportunity to supplement these compulsory modules with optional units, broadening their understanding of the concept of global security.
Current choices include:
* Governance for Security in the Developing World
* International Environmental Law
* International Human Rights Law
* International Criminal Law
* Post-colonial African Politics
* The Vietnam War
In parallel to studying the above modules, students also design, research and write a 10,000 word masters dissertation addressing a topic of their own choice.
