Description

What makes this programme unique? The University of Groningen is globally recognised for its creative and unconventional approach to international security. Unlike traditional security studies, which often focus on state-centric or policy-driven perspectives, our programme fosters a critical and philosophical approach to security issues. We move beyond "how to solve" specific security challenges and instead encourage students to question underlying assumptions, power structures, and the broader implications of security policies. Our faculty consists of leading scholars engaged in cutting-edge research on war, conflict, and security from both theoretical and applied perspectives, ensuring that students are exposed to a diverse range of insights and methodologies.Additionally, students have the opportunity to engage with pressing contemporary issues, such as the militarisation of the EU, the war in Ukraine, the role of NATO, and the rise of populism. This allows for an intellectually stimulating environment where students can refine their critical thinking skills and develop expertise in areas they are passionate about.Programme highlights* Interdisciplinary focus: Explore security t
