Hi everyone,

I'm new to the board and am trying to figure out graduate school. I am currently a lawyer in the United States and would like to transition into getting a Phd in war studies/defense studies/security studies. I've done some research and found that Kings College provides a good program in this field. Can anyone here verify this? Also, what are some other programs around the world (including the US) that provide a similar degree in the field?

Lastly, what have your experiences been in getting funding for your Mphils/Phds in the US as opposed to UK?

Thanks!

I'm in the science field, so I can only comment on this area. It's unusual for someone to get MSc funded in science, but PhD usually are.

Most people either self-fund, and will then find it more difficult to get any funding at all, or get a funded position that was already advertised and they just apply for it like one would a job.
