“Royal Holloway’s MSc in Terrorism and Counter Terrorism greatly improved my confidence, particularly when through class discussion and debate. Excellent teaching staff created a safe and welcoming environment, where I didn’t feel judged and learned to express my opinions assertively. Not only did the course enable me to gain an internship as a Counter-terrorism researcher in Washington D.C., I applied my skills to team-working, on an international basis.”

"Studying MSc Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism Studies at Royal Holloway was a great experience that really set me up for a career in terrorism threat analysis. The lecturers provided me with a great foundation of knowledge and allowed me to select the optional modules that best suited my interests. I was able to build on the information I gained from my undergraduate degree in Criminology and Psychology at Royal Holloway whilst learning about how this knowledge applies within the security sector in the U.K. I have since gone on to work in threat intelligence and threat analysis where I can apply academic knowledge and real time intelligence to the current terrorist threat in the U.K. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to work in the counter-terrorism field or wanting to learn more about terrorism."
