  • Studying in England has been an unforgettable experience. Although I spent only a short period of time there (only six months as an exchange student) I dare say I didn't want to leave. Norwich is a lovely city and UEA ( University of East Anglia) is a pretty university with a lake in it (and small rabbits everywhere). The lecturers and the staff are really helpful and although as a law student I found the common law system a little bit different from what I was used to, by the end of the semester I was able to do quiet well at the exams. If you like a small university in a quiet city the I think that UEA is the perfect option!

Course programme

On the MA International Security you will study three compulsory modules: International Security; International Relations Theory; and War Games: Diplomacy and Strategy in International Relations.

The module International Relations Theory is central to all our international politics MA programmes and provides you with an essential grounding in international relations theory. It offers a current and interdisciplinary understanding of international politics and does not require that you have previous knowledge of theory on the subject.

The module International Security allows you to examine the study of security in the international system, from its roots in Cold War strategic studies to the development of the broader field of security studies today. You will critically analyse contemporary security issues and gain a sound theoretical base for considering practical issues of security, including new wars, intervention, poverty, famine, disease pandemics, transnational crime and terrorism.

The final compulsory module, War Games: Diplomacy and Strategy in International Relations, is a simulation-based introduction to some of the major issues and ideas concerning diplomacy and military strategy in international relations. These simulations will help you learn about the theoretical and practical challenges posed by the strategic relations between states, developing a more nuanced understanding of war and peace in international politics.

You will also have the opportunity to choose three optional modules, which may include International Organisations: Conflict and Development; American Foreign Policy; Europe and the World; BRICS: Emerging Powers in Global Politics; The Foreign Relations of China and Japan in the Modern World; European Union: Power, Politics and Policy; or History of Political Thought.

The remaining core component of the course is the Dissertation module. You will write a dissertation on a topic that interests you, agreed with a specialist supervisor from the faculty. This is an opportunity for you to hone your skills in conducting independent research and you will gain valuable experience in producing a lengthy piece of research on a specialist topic of your choosing.
