War Studies

Why this degree?

The MLitt in War Studies aims to challenge, educate and engage students by exposing you to a wide range of different ideas about war in all its aspects.  You will spend a semester studying on the degree’s core course which covers both the major thinkers on warfare and the practice and conduct of war. In the second semester, you will take three optional courses which delve in great detail into a particular aspect of military or strategic history. Each optional course is led by an acknowledged international expert in the field. The courses are designed to expose you to detailed research topics, source criticism and current debate.

You will complete the course by writing a dissertation based on your own research. This requires you to engage in original research guided by an expert in the field.
