During the 21st century, security threats have multiplied exponentially across the world. They range from the traditional, such as strategic competition, nuclear proliferation and global responses to terrorism, to the more contemporary, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and human rights. Global security issues affect every single one of us and, if not resolved, can have dire consequences. You can help find effective and sustainable solutions to these problems by learning how to better understand their causes and effects across the world.

This course will suit those who wish to discover emerging security concepts as well as the ingrained challenges we’ve faced for many years, such as war. Our first four modules provide a foundational understanding of the security field, and the advanced modules offer specialist knowledge in a variety of security areas. You may want to take this course if you’re looking to progress your security career, are new to this career path, want to commit to research in this area or have a keen personal interest in the subject.

Through close engagement with world-class research and teaching conducted by the largest and most diverse collection of security studies scholars on the planet, you’ll expand your conceptual understanding when thinking about security issues and threats. Utilising real-world case studies and scenarios, you’ll build the skills needed to effectively negotiate the often-competing demands of securing people, states and the natural environment in a complex global context.

Prepare to cover highly relevant topics today, from pandemics to immigration. The course will encourage you to question and debate power struggles, the inequalities between the Global North and Global South, democracy and our sense of freedom, and both the threats and possibilities of technology.
