These include inter- and intra-state conflict, international terrorism, cyber threats, nuclear proliferation, global health pandemics, transnational crime, population displacement, natural disasters and climate change. You will draw on ideas from strategic, intelligence and security studies to understand and analyse these challenges from different perspectives and explore innovative and holistic responses to them. BA Intelligence and International Security at Aberystwyth University focuses on the international politics of war and the complex security challenges facing us all. As the world’s first Department of International Politics, founded in 1919 in the aftermath of World War One, we have been pioneers in the study of international relations and conflict for over 100 years. Yet, while we learn from the past, our attention is focused on the present – and future – of strategy, secret intelligence and the search for security for individuals, societies, states and for the planet itself. Lecturers in the Department of International Politics are all research active and qualified to PhD level, and most also have a PGCHE.
