You will engage with diverse perspectives on violence and conflict in the modern period, and examine case studies from all over the world.Drawing on our expertise across a variety of disciplines, including history, literature, law, sociology and psychoanalytic studies, you will consider the effects of war on different scales, from the individual to the global, and on different groups We have excellent links with the research community, both in the UK and worldwide, so many of our students have gone on to teach in higher education institutions. Others have found employment in archives, research, managing research funds, other forms of educational provision, the Civil Service, the National Health Service, and management.Our University is one of only 11 AHRC-accredited Doctoral Training Centres in the UK.
