The need for understanding the global security landscape has never been more urgent. Learn more at at Global Security (Online) programme offered by King's College London .
During the 21st Century, security threats have multiplied exponentially across the world. They range from the traditional, such as strategic competition, nuclear proliferation and global responses to terrorism, to the more contemporary, such as loss of biodiversity, climate change and threats to human security.
We’ll also cover global power balances and inequalities between the Global North and the Global South in a post-colonial world. This online Global Security master’s will equip you with the skills to think about these security issues holistically and allow you to find practical solutions to the dilemmas they pose.

Utilising real-world case studies and scenarios, you’ll build the skills needed to effectively negotiate the often-competing demands of securing people, states and the natural environment in a complex global context.
