Summary
Overview
Today's security landscape extends far beyond traditional military concerns, creating unprecedented challenges—and opportunities—for security professionals.
Our MA in International Security provides a sophisticated understanding of contemporary security challenges while developing the analytical capabilities essential for careers in this critical field. You'll explore the transformation of security studies since the Cold War, examining both traditional concerns like strategy and interstate conflict alongside emerging issues such as environmental security, gender dimensions, transnational crime, and migration governance.
What distinguishes our programme is its balance of theoretical depth and practical application. You'll master key security theories while developing professional skills through innovative teaching methods—including simulated scenarios, policy exercises, and collaborative projects addressing real-world challenges. This approach bridges academic understanding with the practical capabilities valued across security-focused careers.
The curriculum offers flexibility to pursue your specific interests through optional modules, culminating in an independent dissertation supervised by experts in your chosen specialisation. Our extensive connections with policy institutions enhance your professional development through research assistantships within the school and external opportunities with partner organisations. Recent students collaborated with the European Institute for Asian Studies in Brussels, producing published policy briefs and opinion pieces—experience that significantly strengthens career prospects.
Whether you aspire to work in intelligence services, diplomatic corps, international organisations, NGOs, journalism, or corporate risk assessment, our programme provides the analytical frameworks, methodological tools, and professional networks to launch your career in the dynamic field of international security.

Summary
Overview
In today's increasingly economically interdependent world, there are few states that don’t engage in international trade. The importance of an efficient and effective legal framework for the facilitation of international trade and investment is widely acknowledged.
Studying international trade law, rather than national trade law, is essential if you intend to enter a career in trade or a trade-related government department. By becoming an expert in this specialist area of law, you will build a firm foundation in the law and legal practice in this challenging and complex area, gaining a clear understanding of why a predictable and clear legal framework is essential for efficient and effective cross-border trade. This course is ideal if you have an analytical mind and a curiosity about how law can assist world trade.
UEA Law School is housed in the historic Earlham Hall. You will join a vibrant, dynamic community of students from diverse backgrounds. On this course, you will learn to think from an international, rather than national, legal perspective and develop your research and analytical skills.
We offer placement opportunities and chances to build your CV through extra-curricular activities and the Law School’s unique employability programme. You could benefit from our alumni-mentoring scheme, as well as attend some of our many career events where you can network with law firms, barrister chambers and alumni. You can apply for internship placements, attend careers panels, commercial awareness workshops, mock job interviews, our annual Law Careers Fair and many other events organised by the UEA Law School and the Careers Service.
Our LLM International Trade Law graduates are highly regarded by employers, both inside and outside the legal profession, and we have well established relationships with many local, regional, national and international law firms, some of which offer exclusive placements to UEA students.
