Development and security are inextricably linked, yet all too often, these topics are addressed separately by both academics and policymakers. This Conflict, Security and Development MA is a unique, globally recognised course that does the opposite. It takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to teach you the dynamic ways in which conflict, insecurity and development interact, thus helping you to develop a full understanding of these issues.
“My Master’s degree is invaluable to my work. It provided me with an excellent theoretical understanding of the causes of conflict and instability, especially in relation to recent post-Cold War events. ”
Conflict, Security and Development MA graduates have gone on to build stellar careers in a number of fields, including in academic research, the UN, the EU, NGOs, the civil service, NATO, think tanks, media and publishing, finance and investment, teaching, risk consultancy, and the armed forces.
Recent graduates have even gone on to win Pulitzer Prizes and to sit on the US National Security Council. Some of the roles held by graduates include:
After graduating, CSD alumni maintain a dynamic community on LinkedIn and Facebook, providing guidance and introductions to new job opportunities across a range of fields.

Where can a degree like this take you? Hear from 2018 graduate Mana Hancioglu:
My current role is mainly focusing on the voluntary return and reintegration policies for refugees. King's College London helped me to improve my work from a security perspective on international relations. It was a multifaceted approach that expanded my horizons.
Be curious, passionate and open-minded as it will help you to move forward in your career path. To move forward, don't afraid to take risks.
