Program Overview

This programme is one of five interdisciplinary pathways that are delivered as part of the South West Doctoral Training Partnership.

The MRes in Security, Conflict and Human Rights recognises social scientific research on security, conflict and human rights from different disciplines, and how different approaches treat these issues. The programme moves beyond traditional approaches to security studies to complement these with wider perspectives, such as human (in)security, including domestic insecurity and violence, to develop better strategies for resolving conflicts and securing social justice.

We equip researchers with the interdisciplinary skills to impact research, policy and practice to avoid and mitigate security risks.
