Msc Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism Studies Royal Holloway University of London

Program Description

How do we know what terrorism is? Can counter-terrorism itself produce the conditions of terrorism? What are the key terrorist threats, and why do people join terrorist groups? If you're interested in the answers to these questions, and many more, this programme is for you. Our MSc Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism Studies degree, which is taught at our central London campus, is designed for students who wish to get an interdisciplinary understanding of individual and organisational involvement in terrorism, coupled with an understanding of national and international approaches to counter-terrorism and countering violent extremism (CVE). Studying this degree is a unique opportunity to work with our expert teaching team, which includes Dr Elizabeth Pearson, Dr Anthony Richards, Professor Andrew Silke, Dr Andrew Whiting and Dr Akil Awan.

This programme is ideal for those seeking to develop a research career in terrorism and counter-terrorism studies - or, if you are are already working in, or wish to work in, the security, tech or policy sectors. Previous professional students, for instance, have joined us from backgrounds including policing and Prevent.
