We offer opportunities for learning and career development as part of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities. Migration, populism, war and peace-building and international history are some of the topics we study to understand our world and how it is challenged by factors such as climate change, urbanisation and technological innovation.

"I was interested in the field of security, and this course provided me with the teaching and skills that helped me achieve my ambition of working in that field. I will soon be starting a role within the Tactical Partnerships Team for the National Crime Agency within their National Cyber Crime Unit. My role will involve helping enhance the NCCU's tactical engagement with the private sector to enable external partners to directly contribute the NCCU's objective to disrupt serious and organised crime."
