War Studies

About this course

War studies is a discipline that examines one of the most enduring and consequential aspects of human experience: organised armed conflict and its causes, conduct, consequences, and potential prevention. It approaches this subject from multiple angles, drawing on history, politics, international relations, philosophy, sociology, strategic studies, and diplomacy to build a multidimensional understanding of why wars occur, how they are fought, and what their effects are on states, societies, and individuals. War studies at its best does not glorify or sensationalise conflict but seeks to understand it rigorously, in the belief that understanding is the precondition for effective responses. At King's College London, where the programme has been offered since 1991, this three-year full-time BA examines the global human challenges of war and conflict in all their complexity.
