MA in International Security and Conflict Studies

Dublin City University

The MA in International Security and Conflict aims to provide you with the tools to make your own analysis in our increasingly interconnected world. We welcome students from around the world and many have worked in conflict or security in some way. Some have studied very different undergraduate degrees but have a real interest in the subject. Our lecturers are themselves researching areas such as political economy human rights conflict resolution post-war reconstruction transitional justice and regional studies. The classroom is a space for lively debate its your chance to explore and learn together. Core subjects in the first semester help to set out the foundations of security conflict and peace. In the second semester you will find a wide range of optional modules on offer. These normally include development trade human rights political terrorism climate change gender and area studies such as Asia or Africa. You will also write a dissertation of up to 15000 words for which there is support from the beginning of the course including one-to-one supervision.
