Welcome to the Centre for Security Studies

The Centre for Security Studies (CSS) brings together researchers from across the University to analyse past, present and future security challenges.

The CSS is a multidisciplinary research centre based within the University’s Department of International Relations, Politics and History (IRPH).

We have internationally recognised expertise across four key themes, and host regular events to share our research and welcome eminent guest speakers.
