Master of International Security

The range and complexity of security challenges facing the world has never been greater and its continually growing. Climate change, cyber-attack, violent extremism and inter-state rivalries are a constant threat to stability for nation-states and regions all over the globe. Understanding and managing these critical and fluid situations is a matter of the highest priority, both in Australia and abroad, with significant implications for foreign policy and international development. Our Master of International Security prepares you to take the lead. Studied over two years full-time, the degree will equip you with the specialist knowledge, awareness and skills to diagnose emergent cross-border security challenges and produce sustainable policy or practice solutions. The program is designed and delivered by Adelaides internationally recognised academics, whose research informs Australian national security policy, international security organisations and non-government organisations (NGOs).
