What you will study\
You’ll study modules covering the latest research on international intervention and post-conflict processes, co-taught by experienced practitioners alongside the Centre for International Intervention’s academic experts.

On our International Interventions pathway, you will engage in critical debates on the nature of international intervention. You will be taught via discussion-seminars and simulation-based learning to investigate issues of state sovereignty, human rights and the responsibility to protect people from atrocities.

This masters programme also offers students the option of taking a Professional Training placement, allowing you to spend three months gaining vital industry-relevant experience. These will significantly enhance your employment opportunities upon graduation.

The main difference between this International Interventions pathway and our International Relations MSc programme is the placement option and the second semester module Making Peace – Post-Conflict Processes. You will also have links with our Centre for International Intervention, a forum for research, discussion, and education around international intervention.
