International Relations (with Security Studies Specialism), MSc

The new International Relations MSc provision offered at Canterbury Christ Church University is established upon a firm foundation of research-led teaching, innovative and blended learning methods, expertise-driven insights, as well as a clear commitment to guiding and supporting student development at the postgraduate level. The International Relations programmes provides students with the opportunity to gain both comprehensive conceptual knowledge on the prime structures and interconnections comprising international relations, and an indispensable practical understanding of national, institutional, legal, political, economic and socio-cultural actors comprising the global community. The MSc in International Relations is currently offered with a specialism in Security Studies, allowing students to gain an especially strong understanding of the role of power and influence, and the distribution of authority and governance within national, regional and international modes of security, and the principles of securitisation.
