Masters Degree Description

The world is facing immense security challenges – not only in terms of conflict and terrorism but also around issues like climate change, food security, biosecurity and geoeconomics. International relations and peace-building play a key role in developing multi-layered resilient communities and nations, and are vital in the quest for sustainable peace.

On this course, you’ll examine the relationships between development and peace-building, civil-military relations, cyber security and the wider global security context in which politics, trading and conflicts occur. It’ll set you up for a meaningful career with a focus on positive change.
