 The MA in Intelligence and International Security is no different from our long-standing tradition of linking our education research with public policy. There's nothing like it to be found in the United States at present, and the only programs they do have are in the nation's capital. In this program we examine the rule of intelligence and spying the hidden hand in all aspects of war and peace ranging from the contemporary right back into ancient history. The Department of War Studies has had a remarkable performance in the world in terms of the ranking and then I'm like okay, so perfect. Going to the top most echelon of my chosen career, Kings. Our master's degree attracts a lot of students from all over the world including mid-career professionals from both the private and public security sectors. In other words, those doing risk analysis for commercial companies and intelligence officials who are looking to upgrade their career credentials and move up the career ladder. I was an investment consultant for five years before I decided to join Kings, Kings's MA program. The reason I decided to join was I found my path in the analytics of finance and investment banking and I just wanted to apply it in something more relevant and closer to my interest. I have a degree in nursing and I ended up working several projects in Kenya and after that I decided to to get an undergrad degree in international relations and I was looking for my options for a postgraduate degree and heard so many good stories about Kings that I decided that it would be the best path to take. I really like the staff, the diversity of the staff. They come from all over the world and they're very well specialized in all of their backgrounds. I like the diversity particularly of my core module. Each lecture is taught by a different staff member in the entire program who's particularly specialized on one particular topic. There's a wide variety of teaching methods obviously from your traditional lectures and seminars where you get taught by a lot of experts on the field. There's specialists, official government historians, former practitioners, right on to more hands-on things like war games like red teaming reports and so on. Kings has a lot of events almost every week that I attend. You meet a lot of people, you meet people from different areas so there's a lot of networking of possibilities. I'm really happy, I'm really happy I'm doing this. I was spot on about what I like, this is definitely what I would like to do. This is definitely an industry I would like to be in and the faculty have been very very supportive and informative. They're my one class this semester, there's 18 students in it and so far each student is from a different country so that's been really interesting and that's been really neat. I'm excited to see how that will play out in the discussions. Their professors have been very helpful and most of my classroom size have been very small so it becomes very personal, you're able to communicate with your professor on a personal level and and get advice. So to come here it's like a microcosm of the entire world so in some instances it's being home and at some it's like walking down a street, it's like walking into a new country every single day. We have had students obviously go into the intelligence agencies, many also go into journalism and increasingly we're seeing people going into the private security industry. Students graduating our course come away with many different insights and skills into this study of intelligence. Some go on to apply those skills in their professional life, others use it as a springboard for finding jobs in the security sector and others will even go into further research and doctoral work in the field of intelligence studies. If you've got an interest in this topic, if you've got a passion for the subject of international relations you should definitely apply because in this program we can offer resources and personally I like you won't get anywhere else.
