Overview

We list Security Studies BA because it keeps coming up in counselling sessions, and because the spread of entry terms across the UK is wider than most applicants expect. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Security Studies is reading and argument led, assessed largely through essays and problem questions. We currently work with 26 universities on this course across 20 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.500 to £32.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
