War Studies is an established field dedicated to an examination of the phenomenon of war and peace. It brings scholarly insight and academic discipline to bear on the practical issues of defence policy, strategic planning as well as the operational aspects of modern warfare. The War Studies Programme seeks to balance practical military concerns with the high demands of scholarship at the graduate level. The five principal areas of research are, Military History, Intelligence Studies, International Relations, Defence Policy and Defence Economics. It draws on over 20 faculty from the Departments of History, Politics and Economics and Military Psychology, and over 20 adjunct faculty with unique expertise.
