Summary
Think beyond bullets and bombs. On our international security postgraduate course, you’ll consider what "human security" means in different parts of the world, along with how nations have traditionally protected themselves.
You’ll have opportunities to research topics like post-Cold War wealth inequality, the changing nature of global capitalism, and political, social and cultural reactions to the climate crisis. You’ll also look at examples of peace processes and post-war societies, and analyse the causes of violence in peacebuilding contexts.
We’ll encourage and help you to follow your political, social, and voluntary interests, as these will be a big part of your independent study. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to use your knowledge in intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations (IGOs and NGOs).

Summary
Specialise in an important aspect of world politics with our MA in International Security.
During the course, you will cover both:
- the traditional focus on the security of states and
- more contemporary debates centred on ‘human security’ in a variety of contexts.
You will be encouraged to think beyond ‘bullets and bombs’. And to consider a range of practices that contribute to our understandings of security and insecurity.
As a postgraduate programme, the integration between research and teaching is a crucial part of the quality of the experience. So the course also provides a sound grounding in relevant research methods.
You will benefit from links with International NGOs, many of which are based in Oxford. These include Oxfam and Rights and Accountability in Development (RAID).
On graduating you will be well-suited to a variety of careers in:
- government
- non-governmental organisations
- charity organisations
- civil service
- international organisations
- law
- trade unions.
