War, Strategy and Security at University of Hull - UCAS

Course summary

War. Some say it’s the single most important social activity humans have ever carried out. Others say it’s politics by other means. Whatever your view, war has shaped our geography and humanity. This established war and politics course focuses on the relationship between the theory of warfare and how it’s applied in the real world. You’ll focus on the most important events and debates in British politics and security, covering land, sea and air warfare. Study with prize-winning academics with extensive military and policy experience, eager to help you explore what interests you about the intersection of war and politics. Why study at Hull?

  • Access Westminster up close: Build your network and skills in Westminster while benefitting from exclusive seminars presented by senior parliamentary officials
  • Study abroad: Spend a trimester abroad to broaden your horizons and experience in Europe, the USA or Hong Kong
  • Skills for career advantages: You’ll build transferable skills – such as research, creative problem solving and critical thinking – that are valued by a wide range of roles and sectors
Where could this take me? Time spent in Westminster will give you an established network if politics is your chosen route, but you’ll have gained skills which reach far beyond just one sector. Some of our Hull alumni have started careers in law, journalism, or activism, while others have gone onto join the Armed Forces, the Civil Service and the intelligence services.
