Developments in science and technology are increasingly playing a central role in defining some of the most pressing national and international security issues. This MA programme will give you detailed understanding of how science, technology and international relations impact each other and influence questions of security and global order. Particular attention will be paid to the crucial role nuclear, chemical and biological weapons have played in shaping international politics. The salience of these weapons, and their technologies, have increased with the rise of great power rivalry and arms racing, regional tensions and the threat of terrorism. We will also look at emerging issues such as artificial intelligence, cyber capabilities and space weapons; all of which have emerged as areas that advance the critical intersection between technological advances and international security. This programme combines insights from International Relations, Strategic Studies and Science and Technology Studies to examine how the technological landscape is shaping global politics. It also examines how international efforts to control and regulate these weapons are at the centre of practices of global governance. This Masters is a unique opportunity to think and study in depth some of the most important, dynamic and challenging issues facing the international community today. We pride ourselves on taking a multi-dimensional perspective which equips graduates of the programme to become leaders in their fields, such as non-proliferation, arms control, and international security.
