Internationally and domestically, security is among the most pressing concerns facing states. Adding to the complexity, is the increasingly broad definition of 'security' as new challenges emerge Ð for example in relation to climate change Ð while 'traditional' ones Ð such as terrorism Ð are reconstructed, along with the heightened interdependencies between states and within their critical infrastructures.

This MSc/LLM in International Relations, Law & Security introduces and familiarises students with contemporary issues relating to the course topics, examining them through legal and political viewpoints. It reflects contemporary policies by taking a broad view of ÔsecurityÕ, rather than simply focusing on traditional areas of concern.

International Relations, Law & Security offers a genuinely interdisciplinary experience, which sets it apart from other MSc courses on international security and LLM courses on domestic and international security law.

The core module is co-taught across the Schools of Government &Public Policy and Law, and students are required to choose at least one optional class from each school.
