MSc International Security and Global Governance

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

Our MSc International Security and Global Governance explores urgent contemporary debates about violence, conflict, security, and governance from a global perspective.

As the distinctions between civil wars, terrorism, warlord conflict, and conventional war have blurred, the corresponding interventions - humanitarian, regional, international, and imperial - have been the subject of considerable academic debate and political controversy. Simultaneously, geopolitical rivalries among global powers and the threat of violence and war between states continue to shape international security. Our approach works across disciplines, incorporating political, theoretical, historical, sociological, and public policy approaches to produce comprehensive, balanced analyses of contemporary political controversies.

Core modules will examine the changing nature of war, violence, and security, and their relationship with the state and society. They provide a historical understanding of the evolution of global military, humanitarian, and governance institutions and the ideas that shaped them.

You then choose option modules from a wide variety of topics including international security, American foreign policy, globalization, political theory and sociology, war and conflict, nationalism and religion, and international political economy. The culmination of the course is applying the concepts and methods you have learned to write a dissertation on the subject that interests you most.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in a related area or relevant experience combined with an adequate academic background (subject to interview).

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, our usual requirement is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 6.5, with not less than 6.0 in each of the sub-tests.
