Course content

University of Aberdeen combines Strategic Studies, which gives you a real in depth understanding of the character of international security globally with an energy sector dimension. Many lessons have been learned from the energy industry in terms of strategic issues which have given other industries valuable learning points and methods of working. The subject area can be complex without understanding the main difficulties of security and how international systems affect the way in which regions operate.
