"The programme offered a rich interdisciplinary space, blending insights from history, sociology, anthropology, and international relations to build nuanced understandings that move beyond headlines and statistics. The diverse student body created a global learning environment that fostered rich discussions and lasting friendships. The combination of theory, case studies, fieldwork, and internships—all mentored by expert professors—was intellectually challenging and deeply engaging, and gave me the confidence to take on diverse roles requiring critical thinking skills and multi-perspective approaches to complexity. I could apply this skill set seamlessly in my professional work, first as a strategic policy analyst at a defence and security think tank, and later as a PhD researcher investigating how the use of AI in warfare impacts dynamics of civilian harm and accountability."

"In applying for this MA programme, I wanted to become familiar with the right theoretical and methodological tools to gain a deeper understanding of root causes and drivers of conflict, to grow my abilities in conflict analysis.

I was further drawn to this MA because of the hands-on field experience of many of the lecturers with the topics that were being discussed.

I often apply the skills I gained during the MA in my current work, where I study the long-term impact of conflict on civilian populations, as well as the tools and measures that security actors can apply to minimise and address some of this harm."
