BA Defence Studies

OVERVIEW

BA Defence Studies

Security, an area that was not under the purview of the average citizen of the country, has today become a concept that is increasingly taking mindshare.

This is due to many reasons, such as an increase in the scope of what constitutes ‘security’, change in the nature of conflict – bringing security issues to our neighbourhood – and the role of the media. Thus, in the current national and global security scenario, increased awareness of this subject is not only critical but also becomes imperative.
