Within the core spine of this Global Challenges degree, students will take an in-depth look at issues such as climate change, sustainable development, migration, terrorism, inequality and poverty and how they affect the current world, this pathway will give students a greater understanding of security issues, whether they’re on the ground, in space or in cyberspace.

Studies are structured into three levels which reflect the depth and breadth of the subject: integrated, applied and advanced security. The integrated security modules in the first year will introduce students to four themes including security, intelligence, reasoning and influence. In the second year students move on to look at applied security issues to help integrate their knowledge into new topics of war and crime, space and risk. Then, in the final year, students go on to look at more advanced security themes like threats and government.
